 Russian Drone Strike on Ukrainian Bus Kills 9, Injures 49 – Zelenskyy Condemns Attack as War Crime


A Russian drone strike hit a civilian bus in the Ukrainian city of Marhanets on Wednesday, killing nine people and injuring 49 others, Ukrainian officials said.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attack as a deliberate war crime, stating on X that the bus was clearly a civilian vehicle transporting workers from a mining and processing plant.


“It was an egregiously brutal attack on a civilian target – an absolutely deliberate war crime,” he said, urging an “immediate, full, and unconditional ceasefire.”


Ukraine’s air force reported that Russia launched 134 attack drones overnight across the country. Russia has not yet commented on the incident.


The strike occurred as Ukrainian officials arrived in London for talks focused on initiating a ceasefire, despite the absence of several major world powers.


Marhanets, located in south-central Ukraine, lies on the Ukrainian-held side of the Dnipro River. Dnipropetrovsk Governor Serhiy Lysak confirmed the casualty figures.
