In the Dnipropetrovsk region, the strikes focused on four separate districts, resulting in the death of a 77-year-old woman and injuries to nine other individuals.
According to the Head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration, Oleksandr Hanzha, Russian forces targeted the Nikopol, Synelnykove, Kryvyi Rih, and Kamyanske districts using drones, artillery, and an aerial bomb.
"In the Nikopol area, the district center, Marhanets, Chervonohryhorivka, and Pokrovske communities were hit. Post offices, a college, a gas station, apartment buildings, a private home, garages, and cars were damaged. Fires broke out. A 77-year-old woman was killed. Five people were injured. A 79-year-old woman was hospitalized in serious condition. Men aged 26, 33, and 44, as well as a 55-year-old woman, will receive outpatient treatment," Hanzha stated.
The escalation within the Dnipropetrovsk region extended to the Synelnykove district, where Russian strikes targeted the Dubovyky and Pokrovske communities, injuring a 51-year-old man who is currently receiving outpatient care.
Additionally, three individuals sustained injuries in the Hrushivka and Zelenodolsk communities of the Kryvyi Rih district, while civilian infrastructure was damaged in the Verkhivtseve community of the Kamyanske district.
Simultaneously, a wave of drone and artillery attacks hit the Kherson region, injuring five people over the course of the day.
The Kherson Regional Prosecutor's Office confirmed that Russian forces fired conventional artillery and deployed multiple types of drones against local settlements, with all recorded injuries resulting directly from the unmanned aerial vehicle strikes.
"As of 17:30, five injured people have been reported. Four people were hurt in Kherson, and another man in the village of Molodetske. All of them sustained injuries due to Russian drone attacks," the Kherson Regional Prosecutor's Office reported.
On June 3, Russian forces launched attacks on the southern city of Kherson, killing two people and injuring nine others. According to Ukraine’s State Emergency Service, Russian drone strikes hit one of the city’s districts, which ignited fires inside a multi-story residential building and caused several large blazes.
In the Dniprovskyi district, this mass drone attack sparked a major fire that completely destroyed 36 apartments and affected 63 local residents. Additionally, a 12-year-old boy was injured the following day when a strike drone hit another residential building in the Korabelnyi district, leaving him with blast injuries and a concussion.
