URKAINE - Four people have been killed and another 21 injured in a mass Russian drone attack on the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro, the area's regional head has said.
Serhiy Lysak said a restaurant complex and several residential buildings were ablaze after the attack late on Friday.
He added that "the enemy sent more than 20 drones" to the city, and that "most of them were shot down". Images and videos later emerged showing firefighters tackling large fires that had engulfed the buildings that were struck, and smashed glass and other debris scattered on the city streets.
Overnight, air sirens were heard sounding in several other Ukrainian regions, including the capital, Kyiv. It was not immediately clear whether there were any casualties. Oleksandr Vilkul, head of the military administration in Zelensky's home city Kryvyi Rih, also confirmed on Telegram that there was a ballistic missile attack on the central city on Saturday morning, and that so far five people had been wounded.
High-rise buildings and private houses, a school, a car wash were damaged in the strike, he said. Meanwhile, the Russian defence ministry said three Ukrainian drones were either intercepted or shot down over the western Belgorod region. (BBC)
