A large-scale attack in the Dnipro region
Russian troops carried out massive shelling of four districts of Dnipropetrovs'k region. Four people died as a result of the attacks, and 19 others were injured with varying degrees of severity. According to the information, rescuers immediately began to eliminate the consequences of the attacks, involving more than 130 employees and 40 units of equipment of the State Emergency Service.
Critical infrastructure in Kryvyi Rih district has been damaged, hampering the work of emergency services and affecting the provision of basic services to residents. The authorities are urging citizens to take safety precautions and respond promptly to alarms.
Destruction in Nikopol district
In Nikopol district, shelling caused serious damage to an administrative building, a hotel, residential buildings and cars. Firefighters quickly extinguished a fire in a multi-storey building and a fire in a private residence. In addition, two cars that caught fire as a result of the shelling were extinguished.
Local authorities report significant material damage and stress the need to support the affected residents. Rescuers are continuing to work as the number of damaged facilities may increase after a detailed inspection of the areas.
The situation in the Synelnyky district
A Russian shell hit a private estate in the Sinelnykivsky district, causing a fire. The firefighters' prompt actions allowed them to quickly contain and extinguish the fire, preventing it from spreading to neighbouring buildings.
Local residents say the attacks were unexpected and the level of danger to civilians remains high. Local authorities are urging citizens not to ignore air raid warnings and to follow the instructions of rescuers.
Why it matters
Massive attack on the Dnipropetrovs'k region once again underlines the danger to civilians and critical infrastructure in the region. The civilian casualties and damage to residential property indicate a deliberate violation of international rules of warfare.
The large number of rescuers and equipment involved demonstrates the scale of the emergency and the importance of prompt assistance. Such events affect not only the security of the region, but also the morale of the residents who risk their lives every day because of the shelling.
Saving lives and minimising the consequences of the attacks remain the main tasks for rescue services and local authorities. Dnipro region continues to hold the line despite all the challenges of wartime.
