Al menos 15 personas murieron y otras siete resultaron heridas después de que un dron ruso impactara un autobús en la región de Dnipropetrovsk, en el sureste de Ucrania, informaron las autoridades este domingo.

DTEK, la mayor empresa privada de energía de Ucrania, dijo que Moscú lanzó un “ataque a gran escala” contra minas de DTEK en la región de Dnipropetrovsk. En uno de los ataques, fue alcanzado un autobús que transportaba a mineros al finalizar su turno.

“Por el momento, se sabe que 15 mineros murieron. Según información preliminar, otros 7 mineros también resultaron heridos”, señaló DTEK.

El gobernador regional Oleksandr Ganzha confirmó el ataque mortal en el distrito de Pavlohrad, en la región de Dnipropetrovsk.

El ataque provocó un incendio, que ya fue extinguido, según el Servicio Estatal de Emergencias de Ucrania.

El ministro de Energía de Ucrania, Denys Shmyhal, calificó el hecho como “un ataque cínico y deliberado contra trabajadores del sector energético” y dijo que “el enemigo rendirá cuentas por estos crímenes”, en una publicación en Telegram.

(CNN) — At least 12 people have been killed and eight others wounded after a Russian drone struck a bus in Ukraine’s southeastern Dnipropetrovsk region on Sunday, authorities said.

Ukraine’s largest private energy company, DTEK, said Moscow had launched a “large-scale attack” on its mines in the Dnipropetrovsk region. In one of the strikes, a bus transporting miners after their shift was targeted.

“At least twelve mine workers have been killed and eight injured after Russia struck a bus transporting staff from a DTEK mine in Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk region,” DTEK said in an update on Sunday evening, revising the number of deaths down from 15.

Regional governor Oleksandr Ganzha confirmed the deadly attack in Pavlohrad district, Dnipropetrovsk region.

The strike sparked a fire, which has since been extinguished, according to Ukraine’s State Emergency Service.

Ukrainian energy minister Denys Shmyhal labeled it “a cynical and deliberate attack on energy sector workers” and said “the enemy will be held accountable for these crimes,” in a post on Telegram.

The incident follows a strike on a maternity hospital in the city of Zaporizhzhia, also in Ukraine’s southeast, earlier Sunday. At least six people were injured in that attack, according to Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko.

According to Ukraine’s health ministry, all medical staff and patients were in shelters at the time of the attack, including three women who were in labor.

Meanwhile, efforts are ongoing to prevent Russian forces from using Starlink to guide its drones over Ukraine.

Ukraine’s defense minister Mykhailo Fedorov said Sunday that Kyiv was working with Elon Musk’s SpaceX company to ensure that only authorized Starlink internet terminals will function in the country. “Unverified terminals will be disabled,” he said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed in a post on X Sunday that the next round of trilateral talks between Ukraine, Russia and the United States aimed at ending the war in Ukraine will take place on February 4 and 5 in Abu Dhabi.

Russian state media outlet TASS later also reported that the talks would take place for “the middle of the week,” citing a source.

The second talks were originally tentatively scheduled to take place on Sunday, although Zelensky warned days earlier they could be postponed amid the developing situation between the US and Iran.

The first such talks took place in the United Arab Emirates’ capital last weekend and were hailed by all sides as “constructive.”

(CNN) — Ecuadorian preschooler Liam Conejo Ramos and his father are back in Minneapolis after being released from a Texas detention facility where they had been held for more than a week, according to Texas Rep. Joaquin Castro.

The 5-year-old and his father, Adrian, were taken by immigration agents from his snowy suburban Minneapolis driveway and sent 1,300 miles to a Texas detention facility designed to detain families. They have been detained for more than a week.

“Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack. Thank you to everyone who demanded freedom for Liam. We won’t stop until all children and families are home,” Castro posted on X Sunday.

A federal judge issued an order requiring that the preschooler and his father be released “as soon as practicable,” and no later than Tuesday as their immigration case proceeds through the court system. The ruling, shared with CNN by the judge’s courtroom deputy, was first reported by the San Antonio Express-News.

“We are now working closely with our clients and their family to ensure a safe and timely reunion,” the family’s lawyers said in a Saturday statement. “We are pleased that the family will now be able to focus on being together and finding some peace after this traumatic ordeal.”

In a scathing opinion, which at times read more like a civics lesson, US District Judge Fred Biery admonished “the government’s ignorance of an American historical document called the Declaration of Independence” and quoted Thomas Jefferson’s grievances against “a would-be authoritarian king,” saying today people “are hearing echos of that history.”

Liam’s detention – and the striking photo of an agent clutching the boy’s Spider-Man backpack as he stared from under a cartoon bunny hat – fed mounting outrage over the Trump administration’s massive immigration crackdown in Minneapolis and renewed the question: What happens to children when their parents are abruptly taken by ICE?

In another diversion from the norms of judicial writing, the judge included the now famous image of Liam at the end of his opinion, under his signature, along with references to the Bible passages Matthew 19:14 and John 11:35.
