Russian attacks across Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region left five dead and 16 injured over 24 hours as shelling targeted five districts.

At least five people were killed and 16 others injured following a wave of Russian bombardments across the Dnipropetrovsk region in eastern Ukraine. Local emergency services reported that Russian forces launched nearly 60 attacks targeting five separate districts over a 24-hour period.

The heavy shelling resulted in three fatalities and five injuries in the Kamianske district. In Pavlohrad, two residents died and seven others sustained injuries. Additional civilian casualties and structural damage were also reported in the Nikopol district, where emergency crews worked overnight to contain fires caused by the artillery and missile strikes.

The attacks occurred as the full-scale conflict between Russia and Ukraine reached its 1,625th day.
