Ukraine airstrike on bus in Russian-occupied Luhansk kills 9
Russian authorities in the occupied territory say the drone attack caused injuries. Kyiv also destroyed another Wildberries warehouse.
On Wednesday, a Ukrainian airstrike in the Russian-occupied Luhansk region killed nine people, according to Leonid Pasechnik, the leader of Russia's occupying forces in the area. Pasechnik called the strike a "war crime," stating it resulted in the death of eight individuals at the scene and another person, a 20-year-old woman, succumbing to her injuries later.
The bus targeted was reportedly carrying 15 people, with five others suffering injuries. Despite US-brokered peace talks faltering, both Kyiv and Moscow have intensified their air campaigns. In a separate development, Kyiv targeted a Wildberries warehouse in Russia's Tambov region with drones, completely destroying the 100,000 square-meter facility, roughly the size of 14 soccer fields.
Wildberries, Russia's largest online retailer, was targeted to disrupt the Kremlin's military logistics and harm Russia's civilian economy. Ukrainian strikes on Wildberries and Ozon, Russia's second-largest online retailer, have damaged at least 1.9 million square meters of warehouse space in recent weeks, according to Reuters satellite imagery analysis.
