Russian drone attack on bus kills five in Ukraine's southeast, governor says

The prosecutor general opened a war-crime case as officials said the drone strike wounded at least seven more passengers.

  • On Wednesday, a Russian drone struck a passenger bus in the Nikopol district of Dnipropetrovsk region, killing five people and wounding seven, regional governor Oleksandr Hanzha reported on Telegram.
  • The city sits opposite Russian-occupied territory across the Dnipro river, with Nikopol serving as a regular target of Russian attacks, Hanzha noted while posting images of the damaged vehicle.
  • Mykola Lukashuk, head of the Dnipropetrovsk region council, condemned the strike: "Russians cynically struck a passenger bus. They targeted a minibus which carried people going about their daily business."
  • Hanzha emphasized the seven injured are receiving medical care, while the Office of the Prosecutor General opened criminal proceedings for a war crime under Article 438 of the Criminal Code.
  • Russian forces launched 80 drones across Ukraine overnight; the Ukrainian Air Force reported 63 were shot down, though impacts were confirmed in seven different locations.
