Twelve people have been killed by a Russian drone strike near a company shuttle bus in eastern Ukraine, according to a regional official. Preliminary information indicates that seven others were injured in the strike in the Pavlohrad district, as confirmed by regional military administration chief Oleksandr Ganzha via Telegram.
Ganzha stated: 'We are investigating the details. An air alert is ongoing in the region.' The energy company DTEK reported that the shuttle was transporting mine workers when the attack occurred, labelling it a targeted assault.
DTEK initially reported 15 fatalities from the incident. This attack follows previous assaults on vital infrastructure, with at least nine individuals reportedly injured in other drone strikes early on Sunday.
In a separate incident involving a maternity hospital in Zaporizhzhia, six people were injured, including two women undergoing examinations. Regional head Ivan Fedorov described these attacks as further 'proof of a war directed against life,' emphasizing the human toll of the conflict.
Additionally, officials reported three deaths in Kherson and Dnipro due to separate attacks, highlighting the continuing violence as Russian forces focus on Ukraine's power grid amid a harsh winter ahead.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump referenced a supposed agreement from Russian President Putin to halt major attacks during the cold snap, aiming to provide relief amid plummeting temperatures.
