Dnipro plunged into total blackout after severe Russian strikes

Russian strikes in Ukraine on October 29 resulted in one death in Kyiv and left up to 350,000 residents without power in the city of Dnipro. Multiple ballistic missiles targeted the capital, striking warehouse buildings in Darnitsky district and causing fires. Debris from a Russian rocket landed near a residential complex in Dnipro's Dnipropetrovsk district, and a store was partially destroyed. Blast waves damaged cars and shattered windows.

President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that Russia had launched over 100 ballistic missiles against the capital and surrounding region since October 14. On October 26-27, Russian missiles struck a university campus, a crucial bridge, and medical facilities in Kyiv.

In Dnipro, located 496 kilometers (308 miles) southwest of Kyiv, at least 350,000 people lost power after Russian strikes targeted energy infrastructure. Emergency responders work to restore power supply. Earlier on October 29, Russian forces attacked a train platform at Dnipro railway station, killing at least 14 people and injuring 14 more.

The relentless attacks in Dnipro, a city of nearly one million, coincide with Moscow's ongoing efforts to disrupt power plants, substations, and gas infrastructure during its fifth winter offensive in the ongoing full-scale invasion.
