Death toll hits 29 after Russian strike on Ukrainian aid site, with 48 still missing

Dnipro Mayor Borys Filatov posted images on November 3 showing the devastation caused by a Russian strike on a hospice in the city, urging the international community to witness the horror. Filatov admitted that revealing these photos violated ethical norms, but emphasized the need for politicians and diplomats, particularly those abroad, to see the evidence of the attack.

The Russian forces targeted a hospice in Dnipro, a facility housing elderly and terminally ill patients, causing significant damage. Regional Governor Oleksandr Hanzha confirmed that the strike hit a primary healthcare clinic and the hospital, but thankfully, none of the 100 patients and medical staff were injured. Crews are presently relocating the patients to other medical facilities.

The assault on Dnipro, which took place on November 3, also destroyed a thermal power plant, a residential area, a police station, and inflicted one fatality and 17 injuries, according to Hanzha.
