During the night of today, Russian forces attacked Dnipro, damaging an apartment on the fifth floor of a five-storey residential building. A woman injured in the attack received urgent medical assistance. The blast wave also shattered windows in nearby buildings.
On the night of May 20, the aggressor state carried out another massive strike on Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure. In particular, Dnipro, Odesa, Kharkiv, and the Sumy region came under attack.
In Odesa, following the enemy strike, a unique operation was carried out to remove a Shahed drone that hit a residential high-rise and became lodged in the wall at the level of the 15th floor.
In addition, the occupying forces deliberately targeted oil and gas infrastructure facilities in the Chernihiv region with missiles.
