Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha called for Russia to be held accountable for a targeted drone strike on a bus in the Dnipropetrovsk region, which killed 15 miners.

He announced this on the social network X, according to Ukrinform.

“No military target—just hardworking men returning to their families after their shifts. Truly horrific. Russia once again proves its status of a terrorist state. Russian murderers responsible for this and other atrocities must face justice. Accountability is essential for a just peace,” Sybiha wrote.
