Russian forces attacked a passenger bus in the Nikopol district of Dnipropetrovsk region on Tuesday using a drone, killing five people and injuring at least seven others.
The head of the Dnipropetrovsk regional administration, Oleksandr Ganzha, reported the strike, saying the victims died at the scene while the injured are currently under medical supervision and receiving all necessary care.
Ganzha stressed that the strike was direct, with the drone hitting the scheduled bus carrying civilian passengers. Exact circumstances of the attack, including the bus route and the identities of those killed, have not yet been disclosed.
