Russian strikes kill five and injure 16 in Dnipropetrovsk region

Russian strikes across Ukraine's central Dnipropetrovsk region have killed at least five people and injured 16 others over a 24-hour period, according to local emergency services.

Russian forces carried out nearly 60 bombardments targeting five separate districts across the region. The heaviest toll was recorded in the Kamianske district, where three fatalities and five injuries were reported. Shelling in Pavlohrad left two people dead and seven others wounded, while further casualties and localized fires were reported in the Nikopol district.

Ukrainian emergency crews deployed across the affected areas to extinguish fires and manage structural damage. The combined drone and artillery attacks hit civilian areas as the war reached its 1,625th day.
