Attacks on Dnipro
Russian forces regularly attack Dnipro and the Dnipropetrovsk region. The highest number of strikes and destruction is recorded in the frontline settlements of the region.
The latest powerful drone strikes on Dnipro were recorded at the end of April. One person was killed in the attack, and many fires broke out in the city.
The Office of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Russia's intentions are to occupy all Ukrainian territory east of the Dnipro River and capture Odesa and Mykolaiv.
