Why It Matters
A drone strike by the Ukrainian army on a bus carrying Belarusian children in Russia's Bryansk Region resulted in one death and eight injuries.
MOSCOW, June 17. /TASS/. The Kiev regime must have intentionally attacked the bus carrying Belarusian children in the Bryansk Region, because drone operators always have a clear view of their target, Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said.
"Even before the investigation, it is already obvious that this was a deliberate attack. Drone operators clearly see the target. This was not a military vehicle. This was a bus transporting civilians, in this case children. This is yet another crime committed by the Kiev regime," he said in a comment to RT.
The Ukrainian army used fixed-wing drones to strike a bus carrying a Belarusian children’s football team in the Bryansk Region on Wednesday. A woman accompanying the athletes was killed as a result of the attack. The Belarusian Health Ministry reported that eight injured people were hospitalized, including six children. The Investigative Committee of Russia opened a criminal case on terrorism.
