What the coverage shows
All six outlets lead on a Russian attack on buses in Kramatorsk, with Al Jazeera, The Independent and BBC News all giving the death toll as 33, while France 24, NBC News and The Guardian US say at least 30 or feared 30. Several extracts add 18 wounded, and NBC News alone describes it as a bus bombing, while BBC News and The Guardian US foreground officials’ claims that civilians were deliberately targeted. France 24 is the only one to pair the bus strike with a separate mention of a drone hit on a Yandex data centre.
