At least three civilians were killed and 18 others injured in an attack by Russian missiles and explosive drones on Wednesday on the large city of Dnipro (center-east), the regional governor said.
“Three people died. According to preliminary information, 18 others were injured, including a 14-year-old girl,” regional governor Serguiï Lyssak said on social media.
The attack damaged a shopping center and a gas station, added the president of the regional assembly, Mykola Loukachuk, denouncing a “massive attack”. He posted photos of a building and cars with broken windows.
“Three Iskander-K cruise missiles fired from the ground, four X-59 guided missiles and five Shahed strike drones” were launched by Moscow, according to the Ukrainian Air Force command on Telegram, explaining that “ 11 targets” were shot down.
An important industrial and scientific center, the city of Dnipro had nearly a million inhabitants before the start of the Russian invasion in February 2022. Located about a hundred kilometers as the crow flies west of the line of front with Russia, the city is regularly targeted by Russian air attacks.
