5 Wounded in Russian Strikes on Dnipropetrovsk Region
Russian forces attacked five districts of the Dnipropetrovsk region more than 50 times on Tuesday, Sept. 1, injuring five people. The strikes damaged civilian sites in the Dnipro, Nikopol, Kryvyi Rih and Synelnykove districts, sparking multiple fires.
Five individuals sustained injuries following Russian attacks on five districts of the Dnipropetrovsk region on Tuesday, September 1. The strikes, carried out via drones, artillery, and guided aerial bombs, targeted Dnipro, Nikopol, Kryvyi Rih, Synelynkove, and Pavlohrad. Oleksandr Hanzha, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration, disclosed the bombings in a Telegram post.
In Dnipro, an enterprise, a school stadium, and private residences were damaged; two women were hurt, and a fire erupted. Nikopol and adjoining Marhanets, Pokrovske, and Chervonohryhorivka were hit as well, with civilian structures such as apartment buildings, homes, and supermarkets sustaining damage. An 80-year-old man was hospitalized in critical condition, while a 70-year-old woman required moderate care.
A 48-year-old male also sustained injuries and is set for outpatient treatment. The Zelenodolsk community in Kryvyi Rih district suffered collateral damage, including private homes, a vehicle, and infrastructure. Russian forces also struck the Vasylkivka and Pokrovske communities in Synelnykove district, causing harm to a sports school, administrative buildings, homes, and vehicles.
Flames were reported in Pavlohrad district. Hanzha later clarified that the loud explosions heard in Dnipro were due to Ukrainian air defense actions, advising residents to stay in secure locations until the air raid alert subsided. The assault occurred as Ukraine opened 25,000 schools under new safety protocols on Tuesday, as Russia's ongoing war persists.
