Russians used internet-controlled Shahed drones to attack bus in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast
Serhii "Flash" Beskrestnov, the technology adviser to Ukraine's defence minister, has said that Shahed loitering munitions controlled via the internet were used to attack a bus carrying miners in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

Quote: "A group of Shaheds controlled online via MESH radio modems were flying along the road. The operator of the first Shahed saw the bus below and decided to attack it.
The first Shahed hit near the bus, the driver lost control under the impact of the blast wave and crashed into a fence. People began to get off the bus, helping each other.
Meanwhile the operator of the second Shahed saw the people and guided the Shahed directly to the civilians."
Details: Beskrestnov said it is 100% certain that the operators, who were controlling the drones from Russia, saw and recognised the target as a civilian vehicle and made a deliberate decision to attack it.
Background: Early reports indicate that 12 miners were killed and 16 were injured in the Russian drone attack in Ternivka in the Pavlohrad district of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast on 1 February.
