Russia targets Ukrainian children – 2-year-old girl dead, 5 children in hospital in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast missile strike
A Russian missile strike in Pidhorodne, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast claimed the life of a little girl, who was discovered in the wreckage of a residential house targeted by the Russians on June 3.
The deceased child was only two years old, Dnipropetrovsk governor, Serhiy Lysak, reported on Telegram.
There are reports of 22 injured individuals, including five children.
“The enemy missile partially destroyed two two-story buildings. Additionally, 10 private houses, cars, a store, and gas pipelines sustained damage,” the statement reads.
The invaders continued shelling Dnipropetrovsk Oblast throughout the night of June 4.
Artillery strikes in Nikopol launched by the invaders set two cars ablaze. Three multi-story buildings, a restaurant, and power lines were also damaged.
No casualties were reported.
Lysak revealed that the defenders successfully shot down two cruise missiles and one drone, possibly of the Shahed type, over the oblast.
An explosion occurred on June 3, at around 9:00 p.m., triggering an air raid alarm in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. Local Telegram channels reported shattered windows in residences and shared images of smoke.
Later, it was discovered that the explosion took place in the Pidhorodne community of the Dniprovsky District in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy released a video showing the aftermath of the strike.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
