A Russian attack on Nikopol, in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, set a commuter bus on fire, killing the driver and injuring one other person, regional governor Oleksandr Hanzha reported on Aug. 8.
The bus driver was killed at the scene. His 48-year-old colleague was injured and is currently receiving medical care.
Overall, Russian forces struck Dnipropetrovsk Oblast with drones more than 10 times overnight into Aug. 8. The Nikopol, Marhanets, and Pokrovske municipalities came under attack.
The strikes damaged a gas station and a private home, and injured one additional person.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
