Two drone strikes that killed three on 26 October
Summary
A look back at reported drone attacks on a minibus in Sumy Oblast and an apartment building in Donetsk, days before 30 October 2025.
What did the war look like for civilians in the days before 30 October 2025? Two reports from 26 October, four days earlier, gave a snapshot of drone strikes on both sides of the front line.
In Ukraine's Sumy Oblast, a Russian drone struck a minibus in Mykolaivka, in Sumy Raion. One person was killed and 13 others were injured, two of them seriously. The incident was reported as part of the fighting linked to the 2025 Sumy offensive.
The same day, a Ukrainian drone strike hit an apartment building in Donetsk, which was under Russian control, in Donetsk Oblast. Two people were killed, including an elderly woman, and another person was injured.
Together, the two strikes killed three people and injured 14. One hit a passenger minibus, the other a residential block. Both reports concerned drone attacks that struck places where civilians were present.
