A Russian drone attack targeted a public transport bus in the city of Nikopol, in the Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine, killing at least three people and injuring twelve, according to Ukrainian authorities. The incident occurred Tuesday morning during rush hour.
Ukrainian Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko stated that the vehicle was hit while passengers were traveling to work. "This happened during rush hour," he said, emphasizing the particularly serious impact of the strike on civilians.
The attack comes amid a pattern of regular bombings targeting urban areas, as the war between Russia and Ukraine continues on multiple fronts. Civilian infrastructure, including public transportation, is frequently affected by these operations.
Nikopol, located in eastern Ukraine, is regularly subjected to airstrikes due to its proximity to combat zones. This incident illustrates once again the vulnerability of civilian populations in the face of the intensity of the conflict.
No immediate reaction from Russia has been reported regarding this attack, which could exacerbate already high tensions between the two countries and fuel concerns in the international community.
