Details: Sumy Oblast Prosecutor's Office reported that the attack occurred at around 16:50 on 26 October, when a passenger minibus travelling on the Sumy-Bilopillia road was attacked by a Russian drone. The vehicle was carrying five passengers and a driver. Five of them sustained injuries of varying severity.

Quote from Hryhorov: "A Russian drone has hit a minibus on the motorway near the Mykolaivka hromada. The Russians have deliberately struck a passenger vehicle – directly hitting civilians.

Early reports indicate that five people have been injured, including a minor. One person is in a serious condition." [A hromada is an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town, and their adjacent territories – ed.]

Details: Hryhorov added that the minibus, which was heading towards Sumy, had been completely destroyed by fire.

"Scheduled public transport should not have been using this section of the road – other routes have been designated for such travel. We are currently establishing all the circumstances of the incident," he added.
