Passengers of the Minsk — Anapa bus, which was hit by a drone near Bryansk, recounted what happened.
The drone hit the bus as passengers were boarding it.
Alesya, who was traveling with children, tells the "First Information" TV channel:
"I was still standing in the aisle. I heard such a strong clap, like an explosion. I thought maybe a tire had burst. I didn't understand at all. I only heard my husband shout: 'It was a drone.'"
Another passenger shared that when bus passengers were being evacuated from the scene in small groups by car, several more drone hits were heard nearby.
As a result, three people were injured — two bus drivers and a passenger. Medics say the injuries were not severe; all injured received help and were discharged home.
Among the passengers were residents of Minsk and Slutsk.
Also, according to state TV, drones hit three trucks, one of which completely burned down.
