A Ukrainian drone strike on a bus in an occupied area of southern Ukraine’s Kherson region killed three people and wounded three others on Tuesday, a Russian-installed official said.
“In the Holoprystansky district, a Ukrainian drone attacked a private bus,” Vladimir Saldo, the Russian-appointed head of occupied Kherson, said in a Telegram post. “Three people were killed. Three more civilians were injured and are in serious condition.”
The attack came ahead of a planned third round of peace talks in Istanbul this week.
Meanwhile, a Russian drone and missile attack on the frontline city of Kramatorsk killed a 10-year-old boy, Ukrainian authorities said.
Russia has launched a record number of drone and missile attacks in recent weeks, in what Kyiv says demonstrates that Moscow is not serious about negotiating a ceasefire.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia’s Prosecutor General’s Office has designated The Moscow Times as an “undesirable” organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a “foreign agent.”
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work “discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership.” We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It’s quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
