The shelling of Dnipro has one distinguishing feature that sets it apart from previous Russian attacks on the city. The regional center was attacked by Russian forces on the evening of March 26, Borys Filatov, Mayor of Dnipro, reports.
According to Filatov, this shelling was one of the most massive attacks.
"One of the most massive attacks Dnipro has seen in three years of war. The consequences are extensive, but fortunately, everyone is alive," Filatov emphasized.
Utility workers, along with the State Emergency Service, police, and all relevant services, have been working since nightfall.
"We are still assessing the final damage, but for now, it’s around 20 damaged apartment buildings. Windows were shattered, and roofs were damaged. Window panes were also broken in one of the schools," Filatov said.
According to the Mayor of Dnipro, some locations were hit for the second time.
"Right now, our commissions are working at all affected sites, collecting requests for damage assessments," Filatov stated.
