A Russian drone struck a passenger bus in southern Ukraine early Wednesday, killing five people and wounding at least seven, France 24 reported. The account did not identify the location of the strike beyond describing it as being in southern Ukraine.
The incident involved a passenger bus, making civilian transportation the apparent target or site of the attack. France 24 described it as the latest in a series of Russian strikes on civilian transportation, but provided no further details about the previous incidents.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attack and described it as an “atrocity,” according to the report. His statement was the only reaction included in the supplied material.
The available report did not provide information about the identities of those killed or injured, the condition of the wounded, or the circumstances surrounding the strike. It also did not specify the type of drone used or report any official account from Russia. France 24 said correspondent Gulliver Cragg had further coverage, but that additional content was not available in the supplied source.
