Russian forces attacked four districts of the Dnipropetrovsk region more than 20 times on Friday, Aug. 28, injuring eight people. A supermarket caught fire in Pavlohrad, while civilian infrastructure, including private homes and residential buildings, was damaged across the region.
Eight individuals were injured when Russian forces launched over 20 attacks on the Dnipropetrovsk region on Friday, Aug. 28. Seven of those injured resided in Pavlohrad, where a strike ignited a home-improvement supermarket and damaged a private house. According to Oleksandr Hanzha, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration, the attack left a 20-year-old woman, a 56-year-old woman, and a 69-year-old man in serious condition.
Three of the injured were hospitalized, while the remaining four sustained outpatient treatment. Hanzha initially reported four injuries, all in serious condition, but later corrected the figure to seven. In the Nikopol district, Russian forces targeted Nikopol and the communities of Marhanets, Pokrovske, and Chervonohryhorivka, causing damage to an apartment building and a vehicle.
A 41-year-old woman was among the injured and received moderate care. Russian forces also attacked the Vasylkivka and Mykolaivka communities in Synelnykove district, damaging private residences. In the Kryvyi Rih district, an assault on the Zelenodolsk community disrupted local infrastructure. Earlier in the day, Russian forces targeted Nova Poshta warehouse facilities in Kyiv, setting them ablaze before striking twice more as firefighters extinguished the fire.
On Aug. 27, Russian forces hit an Epicentr shopping center in Kharkiv’s Osnovianskyi district with a jet-powered drone, resulting in the death of one man and injuries to five others. President Vladimir Putin made statements regarding the war on Aug. 22, following a Russian drone strike on a shopping mall in Kryvyi Rih that killed at least 16 civilians and injured 140.
The second drone hit around 30 minutes after the first, targeting emergency responders who had responded to the initial incident. Russia continues to target civilians and civilian infrastructure, including emergency responders, in what Ukrainian officials describe as "double-tap" attacks, violating international humanitarian law.
