The attack occurred on Wednesday morning in the south-central city of Marhanets in the Dnipropetrovsk region, across a river from the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

President Volodymyr Zelensky called it "an egregiously brutal attack – and an absolutely deliberate war crime" on an "ordinary bus...clearly a civilian target."

He said most of the injured were women who worked at a mining and processing plant.

The strike came as top Trump officials pulled out of talks in London between UK, Europe and Ukraine aimed at securing a ceasefire.
