A Russian missile attack on the Dnipropetrovsk region on 24 June killed seven people and injured about 70 others.

This was reported by the head of the RMA, Serhii Lysak.

As a result of the Russian strike on Dnipro, the death toll has risen to 7. About 70 people were injured, including ten children. Five of the wounded are in serious condition. Doctors are fighting for their lives.

He noted that these figures are still being updated as the number of victims continues to grow. At the same time, according to rescuers, there could have been many more victims - many were saved by the fact that they were in shelters at the time of the attack. This literally saved dozens of lives.

Mayor Borys Filatov said that the buildings of 19 schools, 10 kindergartens, a vocational school, a music school, out-of-school institutions and a social security department were damaged in Dnipro. Eight medical facilities, including a hospital and a dental clinic, were also damaged.

More than 70 rescuers, 17 vehicles and all emergency services are working at the scene. They are helping the victims and eliminating the consequences of the shelling.

Russia has attacked Dnipro with ballistic missiles. At least four explosions were heard in the city. One of the missiles damaged the passenger train №52 Odesa-Zaporizhzhia.
