Russia Strikes Ukraine’s Energy Sector, Killing 12 Miners
AI Summary
On February 1, 2026, a Russian drone strike in the Dnipropetrovsk region of east-central Ukraine killed 12 miners and injured 16. The miners were traveling on a bus after finishing their shift at a DTEK-operated coal mine. The strike was part of a larger Russian attack on Ukrainian mining operations, a critical hub for heating during a winter freeze. The attack occurred despite a partial truce requested by President Trump and planned peace talks in the United Arab Emirates. Russia's ongoing attacks have devastated Ukraine's power grid this winter, leaving many without heat and power, even after a previously agreed upon pause in attacks.
