A Russian drone attack on a bus in northeastern Ukraine killed at least nine people and injured seven others, Ukrainian officials said Saturday, just hours after the two countries met for the first direct peace talk in three years.

Ukrainian officials say at least nine people were killed after a Russian drone attacked a civilian bus in the Sumy region early Saturday morning.

A family and pension-aged women were among the victims of a strike by a Russian Lancet attack drone on Saturday, say local authorities and President Zelensky.
