Summary
Five civilians, including a child, were killed after a drone hit a passenger bus in Shebekino in Russia's Belgorod region, Russian authorities said Monday.
Twenty-three people were injured in the strike, with three hospitalized in critical condition, according to acting regional governor Alexander Shuvayev.
Shuvayev accused Ukraine of deliberately targeting the bus; Kyiv did not immediately respond to the allegation.
Shebekino, near Ukraine's Kharkiv region, has faced repeated shelling and drone attacks since Russia's full-scale invasion, and Moscow and Minsk have recently made similar bus-targeting accusations that Kyiv denies.
