Nine people were killed and four others injured when a Russian drone struck a passenger bus in Ukraine’s Sumy region on Saturday morning, BBC reported.
The attack took place near the village of Bilopillia, as the bus was heading to Sumy, the provincial capital. Officials reported the vehicle was struck by a Russian Lancet drone around 06:17 local time.
Emergency services and police responded to the scene. The Russian military has not commented on the incident, according to BBC.
The strike came just hours after Russia and Ukraine held their first direct peace talks since 2022.
