Russian Strikes Kill Three, Injure Dozens in Dnipro

A major Russian drone attack on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro resulted in at least three deaths, including a child and an elderly woman, and wounded over two dozen people, including several children. The assault caused widespread damage to civilian infrastructure, such as educational institutions, dormitories, residential buildings, and a food enterprise, sparking multiple fires across the city. Ukrainian officials, including President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, called on Western allies for increased air defense support in response to the strikes. The attacks come amid ongoing U.S. efforts to negotiate a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, with a Ukrainian delegation in Paris seeking long-term security guarantees from Western partners. Recent escalations also included a deadly missile strike in Sumy that killed dozens, underscoring the intensifying threat to Ukrainian cities. Local emergency services and hospitals are actively assisting victims, as authorities continue to assess the full extent of the damage.
