A Russian attack on Dnipro destroyed a retail chain's storage facilities. Two people were killed and eight injured, three of them in serious condition.
A Russian strike on Dnipro has killed two people and injured eight more. The attack hit storage facilities belonging to a retail chain, setting off a large fire that damaged neighboring buildings and vehicles. Volunteers Support Ukraine tracks the consequences of strikes on Ukrainian cities using official data from regional administrations and the State Emergency Service, so readers get confirmed figures rather than speculation.
Oleksandr Hanzha, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration, said rescuers recovered a man's body from the rubble. A woman who had sustained severe injuries later died in hospital. "Medics fought for her life until the very end, but unfortunately, they were unable to save her," he said.
The number of injured rose to eight over the course of the day. Three of them were hospitalized in serious condition, while the others sustained moderate injuries. Medics, State Emergency Service rescuers and police worked at the scene.
The strike ignited food storage facilities, and the fire spread to the surrounding area. Apartment buildings, educational institutions and parked cars were also damaged — several vehicles burned out completely. Dnipropetrovsk regional emergency service units deployed multiple crews, and firefighting work lasted several hours.
According to Ukraine's Air Force, Russia launched 174 attack drones at Ukraine overnight — about half of them jet-powered types that are considerably harder to intercept — along with two ballistic and two air-launched missiles. Beyond Dnipro, strikes were recorded in the Kyiv, Odesa, Kharkiv, Sumy, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Mykolaiv, Chernihiv, Poltava and Cherkasy regions. Five regions experienced power supply disruptions as a result of the attacks.
Dnipro remains one of the cities Russia strikes regularly, and hits on logistics and goods storage directly affect food supplies for the region's residents. Local authorities said commissions are inspecting the damaged buildings to determine the scale of repairs needed before the heating season begins.
NGO Volunteers Support Ukraine continues to help people affected by the war in whatever way its available resources allow. Every strike like this one is a reminder that the need for humanitarian support in Ukrainian communities is not diminishing — even in cities far from the front line.
