Russia says Ukrainian attack on minibus in occupied territory kills 3
The bus was travelling near the village of Basan Pologi, south of the town of Orikhiv, towards which Moscow's forces have been advancing for months.
On Tuesday, a Ukrainian drone strike on a minibus in the Russian-occupied territory of Zaporizhzhia region claimed the lives of three individuals, including the driver, according to Moscow-installed authorities. Kremlin-appointed official Yevgeny Balitsky reported the incident via Telegram, stating that the attack occurred near a village close to the front line, south of the town of Orikhiv.
The bus was en route towards Orikhiv, a location under continuous advance by Russian forces. Russia currently holds control over the southern part of the Zaporizhzhia region, one of the four Ukrainian regions it asserts as its own. The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, now in its fifth year, continues to escalate with minimal progress in diplomacy.
The United Nations has expressed grave concern over the anticipated surge in civilian casualties during this prolonged period of armed conflict.
