Tragedy, Protests, and Robots: World Gripped by Loss, Hope, and Change

Twelve miners were killed in eastern Ukraine on Sunday after a Russian drone strike hit a bus carrying them after their shift, according to DTEK, the country's largest private energy firm. At least 15 other people were injured in the attack in the Dnipropetrovsk region, State Emergency Services reported.

The incident was one of several Russian attacks reported overnight and on Sunday. Earlier, at least two other people were killed and nine injured in separate attacks, including six people hurt when a drone hit a maternity hospital in Zaporizhzhia, according to Ukrainian officials. Two of the victims were women giving birth at the time of the strike, according to a post on Telegram.

In other international news, Iranian protester Erfan Soltani, 26, who was reportedly sentenced to death in connection with anti-government protests last month, has been released on bail, reports say. Soltani was arrested on January 8 in Fardis, west of Tehran, amid widespread protests and a subsequent crackdown by Iranian authorities. According to the Norway-based Kurdish human rights group Hengaw, officials had informed his family that his execution was imminent. However, Iran's judiciary denied that he was sentenced to death, saying he faced separate charges.
