A Ukrainian drone attack injured two people traveling on a tourist bus from Minsk, Belarus, to the Russian resort town of Anapa. The incident took place at the Krasniy Kamen border crossing, located in Russia's Bryansk region, which borders Ukraine and Belarus. Russian state media reported that the two drivers of the bus sustained minor injuries. Ukraine has not yet issued a comment regarding the attack. The Bryansk and neighboring Kursk regions in Russia have frequently been targets of Ukrainian shelling.
