A six-year-old girl and two adults were wounded in Russia’s attack on the civilian target and are receiving outpatient care. Residents pulled both children from the rubble of a damaged apartment building, but the older girl died on the way to the hospital.
The attack also damaged several private homes, outbuildings, and a garage. An agricultural facility caught fire in another part of the region following a drone strike.
Elsewhere, a guided aerial bomb hit the Sinelnykove area, and artillery and drone attacks struck the Nikopol district, wounding a 47-year-old woman. Damage was reported to infrastructure, houses, a utility building, and a power line.
In Kyiv, a Russian drone attack set fire to a three-story building at a recreation center in the Desnianskyi district. One woman was injured and treated at the scene, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko. A house and a car also caught fire in the area.
The strike follows a major Russian assault on April 24 that involved over 200 missiles and drones. One North Korean-made missile hit a residential building in Kyiv, killing 12 people. Another victim later died in the hospital, raising the death toll to 13, with 87 wounded in the attack on the civilian target.
