26 Killed In Western Ukraine Accident

At least 26 people were killed in a traffic accident involving a bus, a minibus and a fuel truck that exploded after a crash in the Rivne region of western Ukraine.

The Interior Ministry said on Wednesday that the bus had been heading to Poland, but did not say whether it was carrying any people fleeing the war in Ukraine following Russia's invasion.

The dead from the collision include 24 passengers and the drivers of both the bus and the minibus.

Twelve others were hurt, including the driver of the fuel truck, the ministry said.

The Daily Sabah added that the road between Kyiv and Chop had to be completely closed in the village of Sytne in the Dubno district.

The scene of the accident is about 100 kilometers (62 miles) from the Polish border.
