Summary
Two people were killed and five civilians injured in Sevastopol after debris from a downed Ukrainian drone hit a bus and set it on fire, occupation authorities in Crimea said Saturday.
Mikhail Razvozhayev, the Moscow-installed governor of the port city, said the casualties came from the bus incident rather than a direct strike on the vehicle.
The attack fits Ukraine's wider use of long-range drones against targets behind the front line as it fights Russia's full-scale invasion.
Crimea, which Russia annexed in 2014 in violation of international law, has faced repeated strikes, with civilian casualties from both Russian and Ukrainian air attacks rising in recent weeks.
