Russian bombardments across Ukraine's eastern Dnipropetrovsk region have left five civilians dead and 16 others wounded over a 24-hour period, according to local emergency services.

Russian troops launched nearly 60 strikes targeting five separate districts across the region. Local authorities reported that the heaviest toll occurred in the Kamianske district, where three people were killed and five sustained injuries. In Pavlohrad, shelling claimed two lives and wounded seven others, while additional casualties and damage to civilian infrastructure were recorded in the Nikopol district.
