UN, August 26. /TASS/. Attacks on the civilian population and infrastructure grossly violate international humanitarian law and must be stopped immediately, UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric told TASS, commenting on an attack by a Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle on a regular bus in the LPR.

He said that the United Nations is aware of the incident, and Secretary-General Antonio Guterres remained deeply concerned about the ongoing escalation of the conflict.

He added that attacks on the civilian population and infrastructure constitute a gross violation of international humanitarian law, and wherever they are carried out, they must be stopped immediately.
