On the night of September 29, Russian troops launched a series of attacks on communities in the Dnipropetrovsk region, using strike drones, heavy artillery, and FPV drones, according to Serhii Lysak, head of the Dnipropetrovsk regional military administration.
Russia struck the communities of Pokrovske, Slovianka, and Mezhova in the Synelnykove district.
Russian attacks caused several fires in populated areas. The fire engulfed an administrative building, a hotel, three private residential buildings, and destroyed one car. Rescuers quickly localized the fires and worked at the sites of the strikes.
A 44-year-old man was injured in one of the Russian attacks. He was provided with the necessary medical assistance.
Russia struck the Nikopol district with heavy artillery and FPV drones. The regional center, as well as the communities of Myrove and Pokrovske, came under Russian fire. As a result, 2 private homes and a farm building were damaged. Fortunately, there were no casualties among the civilian population.
According to the Ukrainian Air Force Command, Ukrainian defenders destroyed 3 Russian drones during night attacks, preventing even greater destruction.
Rescue and emergency services are currently working on site to eliminate the consequences of the Russian strikes, and the military is urging residents not to ignore air raid sirens and to remain in shelters.
