Russian strikes across five districts in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region killed five civilians and injured 16 others over 24 hours.

At least five people were killed and 16 others sustained injuries after Russian forces launched nearly 60 strikes across five districts in Ukraine's central Dnipropetrovsk region over a 24-hour period. Local emergency services reported widespread shelling targeting multiple populated zones.

The highest casualty toll occurred in the Kamianske district, where strikes left three residents dead and five injured. In Pavlohrad, bombardment resulted in two fatalities and seven casualties. Additional injuries and structural damage were recorded in the Nikopol district, where emergency responders worked to clear debris and assist victims.
