Russian forces launched nearly 60 strikes across Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region, leaving five civilians dead and 16 injured in Kamianske, Pavlohrad, and Nikopol.

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. 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 infrastructure damage were recorded in the Nikopol district. Firefighters worked overnight to suppress blazes caused by the shelling.

The attacks mark a continuation of heavy bombardment along eastern front lines on the conflict's 1,625th day.
