We're hearing reports that a bus carrying 53 women and children fleeing the conflict has overturned near the town of Pasvalys in Lithuania.
The coach was driving from the Polish-Ukraine border to Finland when the driver lost control around 06:00 local time (08:00 GMT), according to Lithuanian national TV channel LRT.
It said at least 10 people, including children, were injured. They were taken to nearby hospitals.
The remaining passengers were taken to the Salociai cultural centre.
One of the passengers told the TV channel: "We haven't slept for three days, perhaps all the 18 days during which we are being bombarded.
"Just as I fell asleep and the bus overturned, my daughter started screaming, and we started looking for my granddaughter. She fell out of her seat and ended up near the driver. Thank God she wasn‘t injured."
