Russian drone hits minibus in Nikopol district: 7 injured, including teenager
A Russian FPV drone struck a passenger minibus in the Nikopol district of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, injuring seven people, including a 16-year-old. Two victims are in serious condition.
Russian forces attacked a civilian minibus in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, injuring seven people, including a teenage boy. The incident occurred in the Chervonohryhorivka hromada in the Nikopol district, according to Oleksandr Hanzha, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Military Administration.
Ivan Vyhivskyi, Ukraine's Minister of Internal Affairs, reported that a Russian FPV drone struck a minibus carrying passengers about an hour before his statement. He described the attack as a deliberate and cynical strike on civilians. As of now, seven people are known to have been injured, including a 16-year-old young man, Vyhivskyi said.
Emergency workers and police evacuated the injured from the danger zone and took them to a medical facility. Preliminary reports indicate that two people are in a serious condition, with the extent of their injuries still being assessed.
The Chervonohryhorivka hromada is located in the Nikopol district, an area that has faced repeated Russian drone and artillery attacks due to its proximity to the front line. The strike on the minibus is another example of the ongoing threat to civilians in the region, where daily shelling and drone assaults continue to endanger local residents.
