Russian strikes on Dnipro

On January 22, Russia struck Dnipro again. The mayor said that a rescue operation is underway at the site of the Russian strike on a high-rise building. Currently, five victims are known, including a child. One of the wounded has been hospitalized.

The Russians have intensified their strikes on Dnipro, targeting critical and civilian infrastructure. In particular, during a large-scale Russian attack on January 16, thousands of residents on the left bank of the city were left without electricity due to damage to the power grid.

Due to critical damage to Dnipro's energy infrastructure as a result of the Russian strike, Dnipro Mayor Borys Filatov declared a national state of emergency.

In addition, on January 22, Russia launched a missile strike on Kryvyi Rih, damaging a two-story residential building and private houses.
