medium article 2 min

A Russian drone attack on a bus in the Dnipropetrovsk region of southeastern Ukraine killed 12 mine workers and injured seven others on Sunday, February 1, 2026. The attack, which occurred in the city of Ternivka, targeted workers from energy firm DTEK returning from a shift. The Ukrainian Energy Minister called the attack a "cynical and targeted" act against the energy sector. Earlier that day, Russian strikes also wounded at least nine people in Zaporizhzhia, hitting a maternity hospital and residential building. These attacks occurred despite a reported agreement between Russia and the U.S. to pause attacks on Kyiv during extreme winter conditions, an agreement the Kremlin confirmed was in place until Sunday. The attacks come amid ongoing US pressure to end the nearly four-year war.
