On Sunday afternoon, “the enemy attacked a bus with civilians with a drone,” said the Prosecutor's Office on Telegram, along with images with the destroyed vehicle.
“Three civilians were killed,” said the Prosecutor's Office, mentioning that the victims were all women, between the ages of 66 and 78.

Ukraine proposed a Zelenski-Putin summit
The President of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenski, pleaded for organizing a summit with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin. Kiev proposed to take place these discussions by the end of August.
On Friday, according to Reuters, the Kremlin declared a summit between Vladimir Putin and Volodimir Zelenski can only take place as a final step to seal a peace agreement.
The Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov said that such a meeting would take place until the end of August, as Ukraine proposed.
The two parties have radically different positions at the negotiating table, and Ukraine accused Russia of sending only lower rank officials, without decision -making power.
Russia, which controls about one fifth of the Ukrainian territory, asked Ukraine to effectively give up four regions that Moscow claims to annexed, a request that Kiev called unacceptable. To these regions are added Crimea, which the Russians have annexed since 2014.
