6 Killed, 35 Wounded in Drone, Missile Barrage on Dnipropetrovsk Region

Six people have been killed and 35 injured after Russian forces carried out more than 60 attacks with drones and a missile across four districts of the Dnipropetrovsk region on Monday.

According to the head of Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration, Oleksandr Hanzha’s Telegram channel, six people were killed and 29 others injured in the city of Dnipro. 

In the Nikopol district, Russian fire struck Nikopol and the communities of Marhanets, Chernovohryhorivka, Tomakivka and Pokrovske. Administrative buildings, a gas station, shops, private houses and vehicles were damaged. A 54-year-old woman was taken to the hospital in serious condition, while a 37-year-old woman was hospitalized in moderate condition. Four other people will be treated as outpatients.

In the Kamianske district, the Krynychky community came under attack, igniting a barley field.

Russian forces also struck the Petropavlivka community in the Synelnykove district, damaging local infrastructure.

The night attack on the Piatykhatky community injured two people – a 72-year-old man was hospitalized in moderate condition, while a 41-year-old woman will receive treatment at home.

A broader wave of strikes

The districts hit on Monday are among those continuously being targeted by Russian shelling and drone strikes, with regional authorities repeatedly reporting daily attacks on Dnipro, Nikopol, Kamianske and Synelnykove. 

Earlier this month, Russian forces struck five districts of the Dnipropetrovsk region more than 40 times in a single day, prompting Hanzha to convene an emergency Defense Council to strengthen evacuations and reinforce defenses across the region.
