Twelve individuals lost their lives in a bus targeted by a Russian drone in eastern Ukraine, as confirmed by a local official. The incident occurred in the Pavlohrad district, located east of Dnipro, injuring seven other individuals, according to Oleksandr Hanzha, the head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional State Administration.
The drone strike is part of a series of attacks involving 90 unmanned aerial vehicles entering Ukraine overnight, with 14 of them striking various locations, as reported by the country’s air force. One of the attacks resulted in casualties in Dnipro, with a woman and a man losing their lives. Additionally, Kherson, a port city about 170 miles south, experienced Russian shelling leading to a 59-year-old woman sustaining severe injuries, as detailed in a Facebook post by the municipal military administration.
In a separate incident, a maternity hospital in Zaporizhzhia, a southern city, was targeted by a Russian drone, causing injuries to six women. The attack also triggered a fire in the gynaecology reception area, which emergency services were able to extinguish.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced upcoming peace talks between Moscow and Kyiv, scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday, with envoys set to convene in Abu Dhabi the following week. Zelensky expressed readiness for substantial discussions and emphasized the importance of reaching a resolution to bring an end to the conflict.
