Russian drone hits bus in Kharkiv region, injuring six, official says

by Reuters

   KYIV --

   A Russian drone hit a bus in Ukraine's northeastern Kharkiv region
   early on Friday, injuring six construction workers, including one who
   was in a critical condition, the regional governor said.

   Governor Oleh Syniehubov said the incident took place near the town of
   Derhachi, about 40 km (25 miles) from Hlyboke one of the border
   settlements where Russia opened a new front in the war in May.

   Ukraine's military halted the Russian offensive there, rushing in
   reinforcements after Russia pushed up to 10 km (six miles) into the
   border areas.

   Thousands of people have been killed since Russia launched its
   full-scale invasion of Ukraine February 2022.
