A bus carrying a children's football team from Belarus in Russia's Bryansk region, which borders both Ukraine and Belarus, was hit by a drone on Wednesday, according to Russian officials.
Local authorities said a woman who accompanied the team was killed. Russia's healthcare ministry reported that seven people, including five children, have been wounded.
Moscow immediately blamed Ukraine for what it claimed was a Ukrainian drone strike.
Photos from a Belarusian TV channel showed a grey bus with shrapnel holes on one side, with some of the windows blown out.
The Belarusian foreign ministry called the strike "another act of terrorism against civilians" and demanded "exhaustive explanations" from Kyiv.
