Russian Strike on Dnipro Injures Seven and Damages Industrial Facility

According to Hanzha, the Russian attack directly hit a local light industry enterprise.

The kinetic impact caused structural degradation to the facility, collapsing the ceiling in one of the primary workshops and heavily damaging specialized production equipment.

Seven civilians sustained injuries during the bombardment. Three men were hospitalized for their injuries. Medical personnel currently evaluate their condition as moderate.

The mid-morning bombardment of Sloviansk

The strike on Dnipro follows an attack on the heavily populated central district of Sloviansk just a day prior. On Saturday, June 13, at approximately 10:45 a.m. local time, Russian tactical aircraft launched three guided aerial bombs (KABs) directly at the city center.

Equipped with wing kits and satellite guidance systems, these heavy munitions inflicted destruction across a multi-block radius. Shockwaves and fragmentation blew out facades and fractured structural supports across 23 multi-story residential high-rise buildings.

A local educational institution sustained direct damage, and numerous parked civilian vehicles were incinerated or crushed by falling debris.

Three women sustained various blast and shrapnel injuries and are currently receiving medical treatment in local hospitals.
