At least five people were killed and 16 injured following nearly 60 Russian strikes across Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region.

Russian forces launched nearly 60 attacks across five districts in Ukraine's central Dnipropetrovsk region over a 24-hour period, leaving five people dead and 16 others wounded, according to local emergency services.

The bombardments heavily impacted the Kamianske district, where three individuals lost their lives and five sustained injuries. In Pavlohrad, two fatalities and seven casualties were confirmed. Further injuries and infrastructure fires caused by drone shelling and artillery strikes were recorded in the Nikopol district.

Emergency crews worked throughout the day to extinguish blazes and clear debris caused by the relentless shelling. Local authorities continue to evaluate structural damage across the affected areas as regional defenses remain on high alert.
