In the early hours of June 2, Russian forces launched an attack on the city of Dnipro, resulting in significant damage to residential buildings and an increasing number of casualties.
According to the Ukrainian Air Force, drones were detected flying toward Dnipro during the night. Residents reported hearing explosions, indicating the use of ballistic missiles and cruise missiles in the assault.
Initially, local authorities reported fires in both a single-story and a five-story building. However, further assessments revealed that a two-story structure and several apartments in a four-story building had also sustained partial destruction.
The number of injured individuals has risen sharply. While initial reports indicated three wounded, the latest updates confirm that 16 people have been injured, with 15 requiring hospitalization. Among the injured are a 71-year-old woman and a 22-year-old man, both in critical condition. Tragically, the attack has claimed the lives of four individuals, including one woman who succumbed to her injuries in the hospital.
A recent Russian attack on Dnipro has led to considerable destruction and a rising toll of casualties. As the situation develops, the local community grapples with the aftermath of the assault.
