At least five civilians have died and 16 others were injured after Russian forces launched around 60 attacks across Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region.

Russian bombardments across Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region have resulted in at least five deaths and 16 injuries over a 24-hour period, according to local emergency response teams.

Russian military units launched approximately 60 attacks across five separate administrative districts. Shelling in the Kamianske district claimed three lives and injured five individuals, while strikes on Pavlohrad left two dead and seven wounded. Further casualties and structural damage were also reported in the Nikopol district as artillery fire and missile strikes repeatedly targeted municipal areas.

First responders and search-and-rescue teams have been dispatched across the targeted sectors to extinguish resulting fires, sift through rubble, and provide medical care to the wounded.
