Ukrainian Drone Smashes Into Russian Passenger Bus, Killing 8 Civilians

In a grim escalation of the conflict, a Ukrainian drone struck a Russian passenger bus, resulting in the deaths of eight civilians. This incident comes amid intensified missile and drone attacks by Russia on Ukrainian cities, which have left 18 dead and over 100 injured. Russia claims these attacks are in retaliation for previous Ukrainian strikes, including a deadly assault on a Russian military dormitory last month. The escalation underscores the growing human and geopolitical toll of the ongoing war, with each side now targeting not just military assets but also civilian areas.
