Russia Launches New Wave of Attacks Across Dnipro and Chernihiv Region, Four Civilians Wounded

Russian forces launched another attack on the city of Dnipro overnight, injuring civilians and damaging residential buildings, according to Dnipropetrovsk regional governor Oleksandr Hanzha on May 7.

Hanzha said the strike caused a fire inside one of the apartments at the impact site, while nearby residential buildings also sustained damage.

Two people were injured in the strike. Among the wounded were a 21-year-old pregnant woman and a 45-year-old man. Both received medical assistance at the scene.

According to regional authorities, Russian forces carried out nearly 30 attacks across five districts of the Dnipropetrovsk region over the past day using artillery and drones.

In Dnipro itself, apartment buildings, garages, and civilian vehicles were damaged during the attack.

Additional strikes hit the Nikopol district, where Russian forces targeted the city of Nikopol along with the Marhanets, Chervonohryhorivka, and Pokrovske communities.

Local officials reported damage to a supermarket, apartment buildings, a gas station, a church, and several vehicles. A 60-year-old man was injured and is expected to recover at home.

In the Kamianske district, Russian attacks damaged vehicles in the Krynychky community, injuring a 43-year-old resident.

Further strikes were reported in the Synelnykove and Pavlohrad districts, where infrastructure and civilian vehicles were also damaged.

Meanwhile, Russian forces launched 41 separate attacks on border areas in the Chernihiv region over the past day, according to regional governor Vyacheslav Chaus.

Most of the attacks reportedly involved FPV drones. In the Novhorod-Siverskyi district, a grocery store was destroyed, while communications infrastructure, forestry facilities, homes, and vehicles were damaged. One fire caused by the strikes was extinguished by local residents before emergency crews arrived.

Earlier, a Russian double drone strike targeted a kindergarten in the central part of Sumy, killing a female security guard and injuring two other staff members.
