AI Summary

medium article 3 min

On Sunday, a Russian drone strike in the Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine killed at least 12 miners, with the death toll later rising to 15. The attack, described by a DTEK spokesperson as a "terrorist attack on civilian infrastructure," targeted a bus transporting miners after their shift, roughly 40 miles from the front line. The State Emergency Service of Ukraine confirmed the incident and reported at least seven injuries. The attack occurred hours after President Zelenskyy announced the postponement of planned peace talks between Ukraine, Russia, and the U.S., which are now scheduled for February 4-5 in Abu Dhabi. The delay followed a meeting between envoys from Donald Trump and the Kremlin in Florida on Saturday. Zelenskyy condemned the strike as a deliberate attack on civilians.
