Local officials say nine people have been killed in a Russian drone attack on a civilian bus in north-eastern Ukraine. The Sumy regional military administration said four other people were injured in the town of Bilopillia on Saturday morning as the bus travelled to the regional capital Sumy, close to Russia's border. The reported attack comes just hours after Russia and Ukraine held their first direct peace talks since 2022 - no breakthrough was achieved, although a swap of prisoners of war was agreed. Ukraine's national police described the bus attack as a "cynical war crime". Russia has not commented directly but said it had hit a "military staging area" in Sumy.
