Russian bombardments across Ukraine's eastern Dnipropetrovsk region killed five civilians and injured 16 others over a 24-hour period, according to local emergency service personnel. Emergency responders reported nearly 60 individual Russian strikes targeting five distinct districts throughout the area.

The casualties were concentrated in the Kamianske district, where three individuals lost their lives and five sustained injuries. Additional strikes in Pavlohrad caused two fatalities and wounded seven residents, while further civilian injuries and structural damage were recorded in the Nikopol district. Emergency crews worked overnight to suppress several fires ignited by the shelling.

The attacks mark a continuation of heavy bombardment targeting eastern Ukraine as the conflict entered its 1,625th day.
