A Russian missile attack killed four people and wounded nearly two dozen others on Monday in the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro, the governor of the region said.
Local officials released images of the aftermath showing emergency services responding at the scene, cars destroyed and buildings with their windows blown out.
"There are already four dead in Dnipro. Sincere condolences to the relatives," Dnipropetrovsk region Governor Vladyslav Gaivanenko wrote on Telegram, adding that 22 people were wounded in the attack.
Dnipro, which had an estimated pre-war population of just under one million people, lies around 100 kilometers (62 miles) from the front line and is regularly targeted in Russian air attacks.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials in the northeastern Sumy region said earlier on Monday that a Russian drone attack had killed a 53-year-old civilian there.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
