Russian drone strikes sparked fires at critical infrastructure facilities and wounded at least three people in Dnipro overnight, governor Oleksandr Hanzha reported on Nov. 5.

The overnight strikes ignited blazes across the roof of a private residential home as well as detached garage structures. Open fires also broke out across multiple critical infrastructure facilities in the city.

"Emergency and rescue services are working on site at the impact locations," Hanzha noted.

In addition, Russian occupation forces launched strike drones against the adjacent city of Samar.

The overnight bombardment follows an intensive assault on Nov. 3, when Russian forces targeted Dnipro with ballistic missiles and loitering munitions. In the city's Samarskyi district, direct hits struck a combined heat and power plant, an apartment neighborhood, and a police precinct station, while also damaging a municipal hospital and wounding 15 people.

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.
