At least five people were killed and 16 injured following nearly 60 Russian drone and artillery strikes across Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region over a 24-hour period.

Russian strikes across Ukraine's central Dnipropetrovsk region have killed at least five civilians and injured 16 others over a 24-hour period, according to local emergency service reports.

Russian forces launched nearly 60 artillery and drone attacks targeting five districts in the region. The heaviest loss of life occurred in the Kamianske district, where three people died and five sustained injuries. In Pavlohrad, shelling left two dead and seven wounded. Additional civilian casualties and structural damage were reported in the Nikopol district, where emergency crews deployed to extinguish fires triggered by the bombardment.

The strikes reflect ongoing heavy bombardment of civilian infrastructure across eastern and central Ukrainian communities. Rescue workers remain deployed across the affected locations to clear wreckage and assist residents.
