Three people died in a bus crash in the city of Ilovaisk in Donbas, which falls within the area of the so-called Donetsk People's Republic /DPR/.
The region joined the Russian Federation after a referendum that the international community does not recognize, as did the self-proclaimed DPR before it.
The injured in the accident are 27, the Russian Emergencies Ministry reported.
The bus was traveling on the Ilovaisk-Donetsk route. There were 37 passengers on board.
