Russian drone and missile strikes across Ukraine killed at least seven people overnight, including five in the city of Dnipro, Ukrainian local authorities reported. At least 34 people were injured in the attacks, which lasted 'practically all night,' according to Dnipropetrovsk regional head Oleksandr Hanzha.
Casualties and Rescue Efforts
The bodies of four people were found in the ruins of a destroyed house, and rescue workers continued searching for victims on Saturday morning. The strikes targeted multiple regions, with Dnipro suffering the highest toll.
Regional Impact
In Dnipropetrovsk, emergency services worked through the night to extinguish fires and clear debris. Elsewhere, other regions reported damage to infrastructure and residential areas. Ukrainian officials condemned the attacks as deliberate targeting of civilians.
The overnight assault underscores Russia's continued use of long-range weapons against Ukrainian cities, despite international condemnation. Ukraine has called for increased air defense support from allies.
