Russia launched a rare drone attack on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro on 30 September, killing one person, injuring 20 others and damaging medical facilities, residential blocks and office buildings, officials said.
Video released by Ukraine’s emergency services showed smoke pouring from windows, burnt-out cars and firefighters battling flames. Reuters verified the location of the footage by road layouts, building facades, trees and street signage, though the date could not be independently confirmed.
Governor Serhiy Lysak said the strike hit the city centre while people were at work and children were in school. He added that an office building was ablaze and dozens of cars damaged.
