A Russian drone attack on the southeastern Ukrainian city of Dnipro killed four people, injured 19, and triggered a large fire late Friday, according to regional authorities. The attack targeted a hotel and restaurant complex, along with multiple buildings, sparking blazes that were later contained by firefighters, said Serhiy Lysak, governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region.
Lysak reported on Telegram that a high-rise apartment building and nearly 10 private homes were set ablaze in the attack. In an earlier post, he warned that the casualty count could rise, with three of the injured in critical condition.
“The enemy directed more than 20 drones toward the city,” Lysak wrote, noting that most were intercepted.
Images and videos shared online captured flames and thick plumes of smoke rising into the night sky. Footage showed the shattered interior of a building, the heavily damaged upper floors of a high-rise, and debris-strewn streets littered with broken glass and rubble.
Reuters independently verified the location and timing of the incident.
