Russian drone and missile strikes across Ukraine killed at least seven people overnight, Ukrainian local authorities have reported. The attacks, which targeted multiple regions, included a particularly devastating assault on the city of Dnipro, where five people lost their lives.
Details of the Attacks
The strikes lasted 'practically all night,' according to Oleksandr Hanzha, the head of the Dnipropetrovsk regional administration. At least 34 people are reported to have been injured across the affected areas. In Dnipro, rescue teams recovered the bodies of four individuals from the rubble of a destroyed house. Search operations continued on Saturday morning, with workers sifting through debris to locate additional victims.
Regional Impact
While the heaviest toll was in Dnipro, other parts of Ukraine also came under fire. The coordinated assault involved both drones and missiles, underscoring the persistent threat faced by Ukrainian civilians. Local officials have not yet provided a full breakdown of casualties in other regions, but emergency services remain on high alert.
Ongoing Rescue Efforts
Rescue operations are ongoing, with emergency personnel working tirelessly to find survivors and recover the deceased. The attacks have caused widespread damage to residential infrastructure, leaving many families displaced. Authorities have urged residents to remain vigilant as the threat of further strikes looms.
The international community has condemned the latest wave of attacks, reiterating calls for an end to hostilities. The situation remains fluid, with updates expected as more information becomes available.
