The Kherson Region Health Ministry reported Friday on its Telegram channel that five people were killed as a result of a Ukrainian attack on a civilian bus in the region.

Earlier reports indicated that four civilians were killed and three were wounded in an attack by Ukrainian nationalists on civilians on board a bus on a bridge in Daryevka.

According to TASS, the Ukrainians used US-made HIMARS multiple rocket launchers to target the bus.

In a statement, the Kherson Region Health Ministry said, "At 7:00 am on October 7, Ukrainian nationalists hit a bus with civilians on board <...>. The civilians were on their way to work. Unfortunately, five people were killed and another five injured."

The attack comes a few days after Russia acknowledged the independence of the Kherson Region, according to a decree issued by Russian President Vladimir Putin, following a referendum on the region's accession to the Russian Federation.

In the Kherson region, 87.05% of voters supported reunification with Russia, according to the head of the regional election commission, Marina Zakharova.

Stremousov told TASS that the Ukrainian armed forces "simply took out men and women without understanding, put them against the wall and shot them like punishers."
