Ukraine drone attack kills 7 in Russian-held Yenakiyevo, Crimea location disputed

A Ukrainian drone strike on a bus traveling between Moscow and Simferopol killed seven civilians and injured 11 in Yenakiyevo, Donetsk region, Russia-occupied eastern Ukraine. The attack occurred in a location disputed between sources, with some citing Crimea. Russia responded with a drone and missile attack on Kyiv the previous day.

A Ukrainian drone attack hit a passenger bus traveling between Moscow and Simferopol, killing seven civilians and injuring 11 others, according to multiple sources. The strike took place in Yenakiyevo, Donetsk region, in Russian-occupied eastern Ukraine, as confirmed by the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) head Denis Pushilin. The DPR leader also reported the death toll rising to eight, with at least 10 injured, though other sources cited seven deaths and 11 injuries. The location of the attack is reported as Yenakiyevo by some outlets, while others place it in Russian-occupied Crimea. The DPR head confirmed the strike, but the exact location remains contested. Russia conducted a massive drone and missile attack on Kyiv on June 2, which Moscow claimed was in response to a deadly attack on a dormitory in Russian-controlled Luhansk. Sources diverge on the death toll, with some reporting seven deaths and others citing eight. The attack occurred in Russian-occupied territory, with the DPR head confirming the strike. The bus was traveling between Moscow and Simferopol, according to an official statement from the BBC.
