DPR head Denis Pushilin said Ukrainian forces used a drone to attack a minibus traveling from Sukhum to Donetsk.
According to his statement published on the platform "Max", a boy born in 2011 and the driver of the vehicle were killed.
The strike was carried out in the area of the village of Kharkovskoye in the Amvrosievka municipal district. As a result, four women were injured, one of them seriously.
In another attack on the Mariupol - Donetsk highway, a truck driver was killed. In addition, during the day, nine civilians were injured in six municipalities of the republic due to Ukrainian aggression.
In response to strikes on civilians, Russian forces are striking decision-making centers, command posts, and enterprises that the enemy uses jointly with NATO specialists. The Defense Ministry has repeatedly emphasized that strike drones and long-range precision weapons capable of hitting any target both in Kiev and throughout Ukraine are used.
