At least seven dead in Russian attacks in Ukraine

At least seven people have been killed and 57 injured in a series of Russian attacks on Ukrainian territory, local authorities reported last Saturday.

The most serious attack is recorded in Dnipropetrovsk

The most devastating attack took place in the Dnipropetrovsk region, where six people were killed and 47 others were injured. Oleksander Ganzha, military governor of the region, reported that "for 20 hours, Dnipro was attacked in waves. "The Russians used missiles and drones in a premeditated attack, bombing residential areas."

Ganzha also warned that more bodies could be found under the rubble, adding to the seriousness of the situation. «The Russians' tactics have not changed: they have used attack drones, cruise missiles and a large number of ballistic missiles. "Most of the targets were civil infrastructure, including residential buildings, energy facilities and businesses," he added.

Minors among the injured

Among the injured are at least two minors. A 9-year-old boy is receiving outpatient care, while a 17-year-old girl is hospitalized with a moderate prognosis. Ganzha emphasized that “this is an act of conscious terror. "It is a crime against the population."

Fires and material damage in Dnipro

Firefighters had to deal with a fire at a gas station in Dnipro, which was caused by an attack during the morning. As a result of this attack, eight trucks and four cars were destroyed. In addition, it is estimated that at least 27 homes, two nursery schools and a clinic were damaged. The mayor of Dnipro, Boris Filatov, indicated that the shock wave of the attack caused damage to about 1,500 windows.

Reports of mass attacks

Ukrainian authorities have reported a massive attack involving the use of at least 650 drones and missiles, deliberately targeting civilians. Andrii Sibiha, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, said: “This is not just a war, it is a calculated campaign of terror against our people. "Russian leaders must be held accountable for these war crimes."

A call to the international community

Sibiha stressed that the attacks are "ordered, planned and executed with full knowledge of their consequences for the civilian population." He appealed to the international community to put pressure on Russia, considering that "that is the only appropriate response to Russian terror."
