Later, in his nightly video address, the president \u200bvowed a response to all the strikes. “And we are doing this so that, above all, it will affect the Russian \u200bstate system and Russia\u2019s ability to drag out the war,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Zaporizhzhia, a city further southeast, a Russian drone attack on a minibus killed two men and a woman and injured eight, including a 7-year-old boy, regional officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reuters Television footage showed a blackened minibus with its back doors blown out and a pool of blood on the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“People \u200care feeling \u2060the war more. What else can I say? This is terrorism, nothing else,” Svitlana Komarova, 58, whose husband was killed in the incident, told Reuters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The driver of a nearby car damaged in the incident, Anatolii Natkin, described the attack as “very serious terror. So many gas stations have already been damaged”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fedorov also said seven people, including two children, were injured \u200blater when a drone exploded \u200bnear a bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
