A Russian strike on central Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk region killed one person and injured 11 others on Thursday, April 30.
Oleksandr Hanzha, the head of the Dnipropetrovsk regional administration, said four of the injured were hospitalized.
The attack, which took place outside the regional capital of Dnipro, caused a fire that damaged a shop and a multi-story residential building. A bus and two cars were destroyed, while eight additional vehicles were damaged.
Emergency services have since extinguished the fire at the site of the strike.
Later, Ganzha reported that the number of injured had risen from 5 to 11.
“Five of them are hospitalized. One man is in serious condition. The remaining injured are in moderate condition. One person has died,” the report added.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said later on Thursday that seven people remain hospitalized in Dnipro following the strike, while dozens were injured across Ukraine in a wave of Russian attacks overnight. He added that Russia launched more than 200 drones, mostly Shahed-type, along with ballistic missiles, targeting multiple regions. Strikes also hit energy infrastructure in Mykolaiv region, leaving thousands without electricity, while residential buildings were damaged in Odesa and other cities.
Overnight Russian attack on Ukraine
Russia also carried out a large-scale overnight attack on southern Ukraine’s Odesa in the early hours of Thursday, striking multiple districts and causing widespread damage to residential and civilian infrastructure.
Local authorities said high-rise buildings were set on fire, while a kindergarten, shopping center, hotel, and administrative buildings were damaged. Dozens of vehicles and buses were destroyed or damaged.
At least 20 people were reported injured, including a minor, with several hospitalized and some in critical condition. Emergency services deployed hundreds of personnel and dozens of equipment units to respond, while psychologists provided assistance to affected residents. Operational headquarters were set up to coordinate recovery efforts.
According to Ukraine’s Air Force, Russia launched more than 200 aerial weapons overnight, including drones and a ballistic missile. Ukrainian air defenses intercepted the majority of incoming targets, though strikes and falling debris were recorded across multiple regions, including damage to residential property in the Kharkiv region.
