Russian strikes across five districts in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region have left five people dead and 16 injured, according to emergency services.

Russian forces launched nearly 60 bombardments across five districts in Ukraine's central Dnipropetrovsk region over a 24-hour span, local emergency services reported. The heavy shelling left at least five civilians dead and 16 others wounded.

The deadliest casualties occurred in the Kamianske district, where strikes killed three individuals and injured five. In Pavlohrad, shelling claimed two additional lives and injured seven people. Further casualties and structural destruction were recorded in the Nikopol district as artillery and drone attacks targeted civilian areas.

Emergency responders and firefighters worked across multiple municipalities to extinguish fires, clear debris, and assist survivors. Ukrainian authorities continue to evaluate the full scope of infrastructure damage across the affected territory.
