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

Intense Russian artillery and missile strikes across Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region have left at least five civilians dead and 16 others injured over a 24-hour span, according to local emergency authorities.

Russian forces targeted five administrative districts with nearly 60 separate attacks throughout the day. In the Kamianske district, strikes resulted in three fatalities and five injuries, while bombardments in the Pavlohrad district killed two people and wounded seven others. Additional casualties and widespread structural damage were recorded in the Nikopol district as shelling continued to hit residential areas and critical infrastructure.

Firefighters and emergency response units deployed across the affected zones to extinguish blazes, clear debris from ruined buildings, and provide urgent medical aid to injured residents.
