The attacks, which occurred on October 29, resulted in the deaths of at least 27 people and left 128 others injured, including six children.\n\nOn the morning of October 29, a Russian missile strike at Dnipro railway station killed 15 people and injured 14 others. The station was preparing to send a passenger train to Zaporizhzhia at the time of the attack. Later, Russian forces targeted central Chernihiv, killing two 15-year-old girls and injuring at least 25 others, among them four children.\n\nKremenchuk, located in Poltava Oblast, also fell victim to Russian attacks. Drones struck an apartment building in a residential area, killing three people and injuring 32 others, including six children.
