In a tragic escalation of violence in Ukraine, a Russian drone strike on a bus in the southeastern Dnipropetrovsk region has resulted in the deaths of at least 12 people, with seven others reported injured. The strike, which occurred on Sunday, targeted a bus carrying miners who were finishing their shift, according to Ukrainian officials. The victims were employees of DTEK, an energy company, and were described as being subjected to a “cynical and targeted” attack by First Deputy Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.
This latest attack comes amidst ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, with the situation already strained by the full-scale invasion that began in 2022. The use of aerial bombs by Russian forces has also reached a record high, with 5,717 bombs dropped on Ukrainian territory in January alone, marking a 26 percent increase from the previous month.
President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine has announced new peace talks in light of these recent developments, seeking to find a diplomatic solution to the escalating violence. The international community has condemned the attack, with calls for an immediate ceasefire and a return to negotiations to end the conflict.
The tragic loss of life in Ukraine has sparked global outrage and renewed efforts to address the ongoing crisis. As the situation continues to unfold, it is crucial for all parties involved to prioritize dialogue and diplomacy in order to prevent further bloodshed and work towards a lasting peace.
