Dnipropetrovsk regional administration
Russia attacked Dnipro
on May 21, damaging apartment buildings and injuring 19 people, including three
children, officials said.
Dnipropetrovsk regional governor Oleksandr Hanzha said at 8:12 p.m. Kyiv time the casualty count had risen to 19. Among the wounded were a 6-year-old boy and a 9-month-old girl who were treated as outpatients. A 13-year-old boy was hospitalized, Hanzha said.
Mayor Borys Filatov said at 7:10 p.m. that eight residential
buildings were damaged. A cafe and about 20 vehicles were also hit. In one
four-story building, the roof partially collapsed. He added that authorities
were still assessing the full extent of the damage.
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.
