Russian attack on Dnipro injures 15, regional official says
A Russian strike on Dnipro on Monday injured 15 people, including three critically, after hitting a power plant, a hospital and a police station, an official said.
At least 15 people were injured in a Russian attack on Dnipro on Monday morning, with three men in critical condition, said Oleksandr Hanzha, head of the Dnipropetrovsk regional state administration, in a Telegram post reported by Ukrinform.
Russian forces struck a thermal power plant, a residential district, a police station and a hospital in the city in the same attack, according to Ukrinform, which did not say how many people were hurt at each location.
Search and rescue teams were still working at the scene, Hanzha said, and their task was complicated by the continuing threat of repeated strikes. "The danger to Dnipro persists," he said, urging residents to remain in safe locations until the operation was finished.
The strike on Dnipro came the same night Russian forces hit a hospital in Kharkiv, injuring dozens of people, and used drones to start a large fire at an oil refinery in Yaroslavl, in Russia, Ukrinform reported, in a broader exchange of strikes between the two countries.
