Russian drone attack kills nine civilians in Ukraine's Sumy region

A Russian drone struck a passenger bus in Ukraine's northeastern Sumy region on Saturday (May 17), killing at least nine people and injuring four others, Ukrainian officials said. The attack came just hours after Moscow and Kyiv held their first direct peace talks in years, which failed to yield a ceasefire. Ukraine's national police released photos showing the aftermath of the strike in Sumy's Bilopillia city, around 10 kilometers from the front line and border with Russia. The Associated Press news agency could not independently verify details of the incident. There was no comment from Moscow.
