A Russian drone strike on a service bus carrying miners from the DTEK energy company in Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk Oblast killed at least 12 people and injured 15 others, Ukraine’s State Emergency Services (DSNS) reported Sunday.
Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal called the attack “cynical and deliberate.” Rescue teams and law enforcement responded to the scene.
The bus was reportedly transporting workers from the Ternivska mine after their shift when it was hit around 15:45.
The attack is being investigated as a war crime.
The attack came amid continued Russian strikes across Dnipropetrovsk Oblast on Saturday. Elsewhere in the oblast, Russian forces shelled and attacked several communities with artillery and FPV drones, damaging homes, civilian buildings, and infrastructure, according to regional authorities.
