A Russian strike on Dnipro on September 6 destroyed a garage cooperative and killed its guard, also damaging homes and logistics warehouses nearby.
Dnipro came under Russian attack again on the evening of September 6. The heaviest loss was a garage cooperative, destroyed along with residents' cars — its 69-year-old guard was killed on the spot. Volunteers Support Ukraine tracks these strikes every day, watching how they tear through the ordinary, peaceful life of Ukrainian cities.
Dnipro Mayor Borys Filatov reported that the enemy destroyed a garage cooperative with residents' vehicles that day and killed the guard on duty there. The blast wave blew out dozens of windows in a neighboring apartment building and damaged a former vocational school the city was in the process of converting into a music and sports center for children. The street was left covered in concrete debris, broken glass and tree branches.
The same day, the enemy also hit a logistics company's warehouses in another part of the city, sparking a fire and injuring several people — the most serious case a 49-year-old man hospitalized in moderate condition. In the apartment blocks near the garage cooperative, blown-out windows were left without glass just as autumn sets in.
Despite the destruction, municipal crews and residents themselves were out clearing the streets by the next morning: sweeping up glass, hauling away debris, boarding up windows with plywood. Volunteers Support Ukraine sees in this daily rebuilding the same resilience that drives the organization to keep helping people affected by the war in whatever way its available resources allow.
