“A drone attack ‌killed seven people and wounded ​another 11 ⁠in a Russian-controlled part of Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region ‌on Wednesday (June 3, 2026),” the Kremlin-installed head of the ‌region said.

Denis Pushilin, ‌posting ⁠on the ⁠Telegram messaging app, said the drone hit a passenger bus ​travelling between ‌Moscow and Simferopol in Russian-occupied Crimea.

Russia’s State Investigative Committee has opened ‌a criminal investigation under ​the category of “a terrorist attack,” the TASS ⁠news agency said, citing the Committee’s spokeswoman, Svetlana ‌Petrenko.

Russia conducted a massive drone and missile attack on Kyiv on Tuesday (June 2, 2026) which Moscow said was ‌in response to a deadly ​attack on a dormitory in Russian-controlled Luhansk. ⁠Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said ⁠another Russian attack may be ‌imminent.
