July 2, Pozirk.<\/em> <\/strong>A drone has struck a Minsk\u2013Anapa passenger bus in Russia near a border crossing between Belarus’ Homiel region and Russia’s Bryansk province, Belarusian and Russian pro-government media reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russian Telegram channels were the first to report the attack, including several that claim access to insider information and are widely believed to have links to Russian intelligence agencies. These sources blamed the incident on Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation has denied Ukraine\u2019s involvement, accusing Russian propaganda of blaming Ukraine without providing any evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

News.by<\/em> reported that at around midday \u201ca drone crashed into the vehicle\u201d while it was parked in a parking lot near the village of Krasnaya Gora in Bryansk province, noting that 19 passengers were on board. The Belarusian state-controlled news outlet published an interview with a representative of Stalica, the bus operator, who said that no one was injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Russian sources alleged that two drivers, both from the Homiel region, sustained minor injuries and received medical treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarusians travelling on the bus have been transported from Russia\u2019s Bryansk province to Belarus, Yegor Kovalchuk, the acting governor of Bryansk province, said on Telegram. He blamed the attack on Ukraine, noting that two drivers were treated for shrapnel wounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kovalchuk was also the first official to report another attack in the province on June 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On that day, a drone struck a Belarusian tour bus carrying 44 passengers, including 28 minors enrolled in a soccer program, killing Viktoryja Haro\u0161ka, the wife of a coach at the Re\u010dyca sports school for children, and injuring six others, including five children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While warning against drawing premature conclusions, Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka blamed the strike on a Ukrainian drone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine denied any involvement, stating that Ukrainian forces had not used unmanned aerial vehicles against targets in Russia\u2019s Bryansk province on the day the bus was hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UN Security Council on June 29 called for an impartial investigation into the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
