Russian strikes on the Dnipropetrovsk region

Russian forces continue to target civilian and industrial infrastructure in the Dnipropetrovsk region with drones and missiles.

On August 19, the enemy struck an educational institution in the Dnipropetrovsk region with an attack drone. The attack caused a fire.

Earlier, the enemy attacked Nikopol in the Dnipropetrovsk region. As a result of the artillery shelling, two men and a woman were killed, and others were injured. Among the deceased was a 23-year-old rescuer. Of the four injured, three were employees of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.

It later became known that Russia used a double-strike tactic. Rescuers came under artillery fire while inspecting the area after the initial strike, with a direct hit on an official vehicle.
