“Today in the city of Shebekino, a drone belonging to neo-Nazi terrorists from Kiev deliberately and cynically attacked a passenger bus. As a result of this inhumane and cowardly attack, four women and a child died from their injuries,” Shuvayev wrote on the Max platform.

He added that 23 civilians were wounded, including a teenager. According to the official, the victims are receiving treatment at the Shebekino district hospital; three of the wounded are in critical condition.

He stated that once their condition stabilizes, they are expected to be transferred to medical centers in Belgorod.

“The deceased are being identified. This is another tragedy for their families and friends, as well as for all the inhabitants of the region. I offer my deepest condolences,” Shuvayev concluded.
