A recent Russian drone strike targeted a bus carrying miners in the Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine, resulting in the deaths of at least 12 individuals. The attack occurred shortly after peace talks were postponed, raising concerns about escalation in the ongoing conflict. Ukrainian officials have reported multiple casualties, with additional injuries reported among survivors. President Zelenskyy has indicated that further negotiations with Russia are scheduled for next week despite the recent violence, which has drawn international condemnation, particularly regarding assaults on civilian targets.
