"Two separate drone strikes killed at least 17 people in Ukraine's southeastern Dnipropetrovsk region, injuring at least seven others, Ukrainian officials reported on February 1. Fifteen people were killed when a Russian drone struck near a bus in the Pavlohrad area, while two more died after a drone hit a private house in the region's capital, Dnipro, earlier in the day."
"Separately, there were ongoing air raids in the neighboring city of Zaporizhzhya, which began shortly after midnight. Regional governor Ivan Fedorov said that at least six people were injured in the attack on maternity hospital. Fedorov added that two of the injured women were undergoing medical examinations at the time of impact. In a Telegram post showing the aftermath, he described the strike as "yet another proof of a war directed against life.""
"The February 1 attacks came as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that a new round of talks to end the nearly four-year war is now set to resume in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, on February 4-5. "We are interested in ensuring that the result brings us closer to a real and dignified end to the war," Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram after being briefed by Kyiv's negotiation team."
