A Russian drone strike on a bus in Ukraine has killed 12 people, a local official has said.
Another seven people were injured in the attack in the southeastern Dnipropetrovsk region, its governor Oleksandr Hanzha said.
Ukraine’s emergency service said a fire broke out after the strike but it was extinguished by firefighters.
It comes after Russia launched 90 attack drones overnight, with 14 striking nine locations, according to Ukraine’s air force.
A woman and a man were killed in an overnight strike in the eastern Ukrainian city of Dnipro, Mr Hanzha said earlier.
Russian shelling also hit central Kherson in southern Ukraine, seriously wounding a 59-year-old woman, according to a Facebook post by the municipal military administration.
A drone also hit a maternity hospital in the southern city of Zaporizhzhia, the Ukrainian emergency service said, injuring three women and sparking a fire in the gynaecology reception area that was later extinguished. Regional administration head Ivan Fedorov later said the number of wounded had risen to six.
