Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova claimed that Ukraine had carried out drone attacks targeting civilian transport vehicles in Russian regions.

Zakharova stated that on the morning of July 28, a drone attack on a passenger bus in the town of Shebekino in Russia's Belgorod region injured 19 people, six of whom were seriously wounded.

She also claimed that later the same day a scheduled passenger bus in the city of Horlivka in the Donetsk region was attacked by a drone, injuring five people.

Arguing that the attacks targeted civilian objects, Zakharova alleged that Ukrainian military authorities had violated international humanitarian law.

Zakharova said that Russia's Investigative Committee had launched criminal investigations into the incidents and that those responsible would be brought to justice.

Calling on international organizations and independent media outlets to respond to the alleged attacks, Zakharova stressed that attacks against civilians are unacceptable.
