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

The deadliest casualties occurred in the Kamianske district, where three individuals were killed and five sustained injuries. In the Pavlohrad district, shelling and drone attacks resulted in two deaths and seven wounded citizens. Additional casualties and severe infrastructure damage were recorded in the Nikopol district as emergency responders worked to extinguish fires caused by the bombardments.
