According to Главком: A Russian nighttime attack on Dnipro has left two people dead and six others injured. Among the wounded are a 42-year-old woman and two men, aged 47 and 25, who are in serious condition at the hospital.

Strikes on Other Cities

In addition to Dnipro, Russian forces targeted Odesa with drones on the night of May 20. In one district, a single-story building was completely destroyed, and a multi-story residential building was also hit. Meanwhile, occupation troops attacked the city of Konotop in Sumy region, where a direct hit from a Shahed drone caused three floors of a five-story building to collapse.

This information was provided by Glavkom, citing Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration head Oleksandr Ganzha. The situation remains tense, and local authorities are continuing to respond to the aftermath of the attacks.

These attacks underscore Russia's ongoing aggression against Ukraine, resulting in numerous civilian casualties and infrastructure damage. The swift response of local authorities in aiding victims and restoring damaged facilities is critical. The escalation of violence in regions like Dnipro and Odesa highlights the urgent need for continued international support for Ukraine as it strives for security and stability.

The recent attack on Dnipro is part of a troubling trend, as similar drone strikes have also targeted Odesa, resulting in casualties and significant destruction.
