Ukrainian forces struck a passenger minibus in Bryansk Region, leaving several people injured. Regional governor Aleksandr Bogomaz reported that the attack targeted a vehicle carrying company employees along the Pogar-Gremyach highway in Pogar District.

According to Bogomaz, the bus driver managed to reach a checkpoint of the «Bars-Bryansk» brigade after the first strikes, allowing passengers to be evacuated and handed over to medics. However, while people were being pulled from the damaged vehicle, a second strike followed.

The attack injured the driver, four company employees, and two members of the Bars-Bryansk unit. Emergency and rescue services arrived on site, and all the wounded were transported to a hospital where they received medical assistance.

The incident came shortly after Russia’s Ministry of Defense reported that air defense units had intercepted 85 Ukrainian drones over Bryansk Region during the previous night.
