Nine killed in Ukrainian strike on bus in Russian-controlled Luhansk region, Russia says
The bus was carrying 15 passengers, and five were wounded, according to the Russian-installed governor.
- On Wednesday, August 26, 2026, a Ukrainian strike hit a bus in the Russian-controlled Luhansk region, killing nine people, according to Russian-installed Governor Leonid Pasechnik.
- Pasechnik said the bus was traveling the Lysychansk-Stakhanov route along the Zolote-Pervomaisk highway when struck, carrying 15 passengers at the time of the incident.
- Ukrainian forces "deliberately" struck the bus, Pasechnik alleged, though he provided no further details about the circumstances of the attack.
- Reuters could not independently verify the report of the strike in the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic, limiting confirmation of Pasechnik's account.
- The incident occurred in the Russian-controlled part of the Luhansk region in eastern Ukraine, where ongoing conflict continues to limit independent reporting access.
