Four killed, 21 injured as fires engulf Bartolomeo complex and homes in Dnipro
Russian forces attacked Dnipro with Shahed drones, causing multiple fires and significant damage, Dnipropetrovsk regional head Serhiy Lysak reported on March 28.
At least four people were killed and 21 injured after a Russian drone strike on Dnipro, Ukrainian officials reported.
The attack caused widespread destruction, setting fire to a hotel and restaurant complex, private homes, garages, and service stations.
Emergency responders worked overnight to contain the fires, and all blazes have now been extinguished, according to the State Emergency Service.
Officials confirmed damage to multiple high-rise buildings and 21 vehicles.
The Bartolomeo hotel and restaurant complex reported the impact on its social media, stating that guests and staff were safely evacuated. Local journalists observed additional structural collapses at the site the following morning.
Dnipro Mayor Borys Filatov confirmed damage to a well-known restaurant, while Serhiy Lysak, head of the Dnipropetrovsk regional administration, said Russian forces had launched over 20 drones at the city, most of which were intercepted.
Among the wounded is a 27-year-old pregnant woman who sustained stab wounds.
A 69-year-old man and another woman remain in serious condition.
The Ukrainian Air Force had warned of incoming drone attacks before the strike.
As of late evening, the threat of further attacks remained for several oblasts.
