Russian strikes on Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region killed at least five people and injured 16 across five districts during a 24-hour barrage.

At least five people were killed and 16 others sustained injuries following extensive Russian strikes across Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region over a 24-hour span, local rescue authorities reported.

Russian forces executed nearly 60 attacks across five districts in the area. The highest death toll occurred in the Kamianske district, where three individuals were killed and five suffered wounds. In Pavlohrad, artillery and aerial hits left two civilians dead and seven injured. Additional casualties and damage to local infrastructure were reported in the Nikopol area, where emergency services operated to extinguish blazes and assist affected residents.

The strikes reflect ongoing cross-border and long-range shelling aimed at urban and civilian areas throughout central and eastern Ukraine.
