Hanzha also said an earlier drone attack on the morning of May 21 injured a 58-year-old woman and damaged an apartment on the fifth floor. The blast wave shattered windows in several neighboring buildings. Ukraine’s Air Force had warned of hostile drones over Dnipro before the attacks.

On May 20, a Russian strike on Dnipro hit food warehouses, sparking fires that killed two people and wounded six, the regional administration said.
