Six Dead and 33 Wounded in Major Strike on Dnipropetrovsk Region

Attacks Across Dnipropetrovsk Oblast

According to Главком: Russia launched a large-scale assault on the Dnipropetrovsk region, deploying both missiles and attack drones. The strikes targeted the cities of Dnipro and Kamianske, as well as the Nikopol, Synelnykove, and Kryvyi Rih districts. This information was provided by Oleksandr Hanzha, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional State Administration.

In Dnipro, multiple apartment buildings were partially destroyed, while a local enterprise, a fire station, garages, and vehicles also sustained damage. The attack claimed six lives and left 33 others injured. Among the wounded in Dnipro are a 22-year-old man and a 71-year-old woman, both in serious condition. A total of 24 people were hospitalized, including a 16-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl.

In Kamianske, the strike damaged an administrative building and several apartment blocks. Three people were injured here: a 50-year-old man and two women aged 49 and 72. In the Nikopol district, the communities of Nikopol, Chervonohryhorivka, Pokrovsk, and Marhanets came under fire. In the Synelnykove district, Russian forces hit the Vasylkivka community, causing a fire in an abandoned building. In the Kryvyi Rih area, the Apostolove community was targeted, also resulting in a blaze.

Attack on Kyiv

On the night of June 2, 2026, Russia carried out a strike on Kyiv using missiles and drones. The capital saw four fatalities and over 50 injuries. Damage was recorded across eight districts of the city. In the broader Kyiv region, three people were hurt, with damage reported in the Bucha, Vyshhorod, Fastiv, and Obukhiv districts. The main thrust of the attack covered Kyiv, Kyiv Oblast, Dnipro, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia.

This escalation of violence underscores the ongoing threat in Ukraine and the severity of the situation in regions under attack. The situation in Ukraine remains tense as shelling continues, damaging civilian infrastructure and causing casualties. International reaction to these events and support for Ukraine in its fight for security and stability in the region remain crucial.

The recent escalation in attacks on the Dnipropetrovsk region highlights a troubling pattern of violence, as seen in a previous incident where 26 individuals were injured, including two children. This ongoing conflict poses a significant threat to civilians, emphasizing the need for awareness of the precarious situation in the area.
