"A Russian drone strike on a bus carrying miners killed at least 12 people, Ukrainian officials said on Sunday, hours after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced new peace talks amid uncertainty over a Russian suspension of attacks on energy infrastructure. First deputy prime minister Denys Shmyhal said the strike in the south-eastern Dnipropetrovsk region was a cynical and targeted attack on energy workers. The bus was driving about 65km (40 miles) from the frontline, police said."
"The Kremlin said on Friday it had agreed to halt strikes on energy infrastructure until Sunday at the request of Donald Trump, and Kyiv said it would reciprocate. Ukraine said the suspension was supposed to last until the following Friday. The countries have not reported major strikes on their energy systems in recent days, though Zelenskyy said on Sunday that Russia was attacking railway infrastructure and other logistics."
A Russian drone strike on a bus carrying miners in the south-eastern Dnipropetrovsk region killed at least 12 people; the bus was about 65 km from the frontline. Officials characterized the attack as a cynical, targeted strike on energy workers. A scheduled second round of talks between Russian, Ukrainian and US officials on a US-drafted peace plan in Abu Dhabi was delayed and rescheduled for Wednesday and Thursday, without confirmation from Moscow or Washington. Earlier drone strikes killed two civilians in Dnipro and wounded at least seven at a maternity hospital in Zaporizhzhia. A temporary halt to energy strikes was agreed, but attacks on railways, logistics and some power grids continued amid a cold snap near -15C.
