On Wednesday, a drone strike hit a bus carrying a Belarusian youth soccer team traveling through Russia's Bryansk region near the Ukrainian border.
The attack killed a female guide and injured at least six others, including four children who were returning from a vacation. Russian and Belarusian officials immediately blamed the Ukrainian military, labeling the strike a deliberate act of terrorism against civilians. Ukraine’s General Staff has vehemently denied the allegations, suggesting the incident might be a Russian "provocation" intended to damage Belarus's relationship with Ukraine.
Belarusian medical teams have been dispatched to evacuate the injured children back to Minsk for specialized treatment.
