On the night of November 17-18, Russia massively attacked Dnipro with drones. As a result of the Russian strikes, the buildings of the regional editorial offices of Suspilne Dnipro and Ukrainian Radio were damaged, according to Dnipro Mayor Borys Filatov.

Consequences of Russian attack on Dnipro

"Look, you b*******, I know you're reading this, so I'll write in your dialect especially for you," wrote the head of Dnipro in Russian.

He notes them that the Russians are "s*** who destroy everything alive that they can get their hands on," and that this is already an "indisputable fact."

Filatov shares that just recently, in Dnipro, Russian drones and missiles destroyed:

  • A warehouse of sanitary pads;
  • A tea packaging facility;
  • A warehouse with medicines;
  • A furniture factory;
  • A number of civilian businesses where there were no military personnel.

"You d*** locusts are just bombing civilian targets to deprive people of their jobs, bankrupt entrepreneurs, and destroy our economy," the official says to those "who read him."

According to him, yesterday "the b******* outdid themselves."

"They bombed the TV tower and the former Soviet television center, where journalists from Suspilne have been working for a long time! Do you b******* really think that we still watch analog television like in the USSR? Are we enjoying UT-1 and UT-2? Or do you think that if you take away our TV, we will finally break down?" Filatov writes.

At the same time, Suspilne Dnipro confirmed on its Facebook page (at 00:42 a.m. Kyiv time on November 18): "The building of the editorial office of Suspilne Dnipro and Ukrainian Radio was damaged as a result of a massive Russian strike on the city on the evening of November 17."

Footage from the scene was also revealed.

A little later, the agency reported that the Russian strike caused a fire, blew out windows and doors, and damaged the building's floors and roof.

Fortunately, there were no employees in the editorial office at the time of the Russian attack.

At 8 a.m. on Tuesday, journalists reported that Russian troops had attacked four districts of the Dnipropetrovsk region: Dnipro, Samar, Pavlohrad, and Nikopol.

"The strikes have left people injured and caused many fires in the region. In addition, Ukrainian air defenses shot down more than 30 drones over the region during the night," Ukrainians were told.

The consequences of the massive Russian drone attack on the city of Dnipro continued to be eliminated. At the same time, the fire in the Suspilne Dnipro editorial office building was still ongoing.

According to journalists, in addition to the Suspilne Dnipro editorial office, Russia also damaged:

  • Transport and private enterprises;
  • An administrative building;
  • A service station;
  • Shops and kiosks;
  • A catering establishment;
  • Infrastructure;
  • Six apartment buildings;
  • Garages;
  • Vehicles.

Acting Head of the Regional Military Administration Vladyslav Haivanenko reported that as of this morning, 2 people were known to have been injured.

"Two people were injured as a result of a massive Russian attack on Dnipro. A 59-year-old woman and a 67-year-old man were hospitalized in moderate condition," he says.

Last night, Russian troops attacked several regions of Ukraine with strike drones and Iskander-M ballistic missiles. Later, the Ukrainian Air Force reported on how Ukrainian air defense forces responded to Russian strikes.
