Approximately 20 people were injured, three of them critically, following a drone attack on a passenger bus in the city of Shebekino, located in the Russian region of Belgorod. The incident, attributed to the Ukrainian military, occurred on Tuesday amid ongoing cross-border hostilities.
In response to this and similar strikes on Russian territory, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitri Peskov stated that such actions reinforce the necessity of Russia’s current military campaign. Moscow characterizes these events as "terrorist acts" originating from Kyiv, asserting that they compel Russia to eliminate what it describes as a security threat.
Simultaneously, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported new strikes against Ukrainian port infrastructure and vessels in the Black Sea. Russian officials maintain that these targets are being utilized to support Ukraine's military capabilities, marking a continuation of the reciprocal attacks between the two nations.
