Ukraine accused Russia of targeting two crowded vehicles in the front line city of Kramatorsk to kill as many civilians as possible.

What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story as deadly Russian attacks on civilians in Ukraine, but they diverge in what they foreground. The Associated Press emphasizes overnight strikes on Pryluky and Kyiv, including residential areas and a rising death toll, while The Independent alone centers the guided-bomb hit on a civilian bus and adds that the town had been visited by UK foreign secretary Ed Miliband.
