In a tragic incident, a Russian drone strike targeted a passenger bus in Sumy's Bilopillia city, leading to the deaths of at least nine individuals and injuring four more. Local officials labeled the attack as a deliberate war crime, particularly as it occurred shortly after unsuccessful peace talks in Turkey aimed at establishing a ceasefire. The victims, predominantly elderly women, were identified amid community grief, with Bilopillia declaring a mourning period. The attack has intensified scrutiny on the ongoing conflict and the impact on civilian populations.
This is another war crime by Russia - a deliberate strike on civilian transport that posed no threat.
A period of mourning had been declared in Bilopillia until Monday, with local community chief Yurii Zarko calling the day of the attack "Black Saturday".
