Russian forces attacked a humanitarian bus in the Zaporizhzhia region with a drone on October 29, killing a female passenger and seriously injuring the driver. The bus was carrying 20 people. The strike occurred around 14:50 in the village of Bilenke, hitting the roof between the driver and passenger compartment. A woman born in 1952 died at the scene, while a 79-year-old man was hospitalized with shrapnel wounds. The bus belonged to the Proliska humanitarian mission and was clearly marked.
