At least one person was killed and 28 injured in Ukraine in a Russian drone strike on the city of Dnipro, the head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration said Tuesday.

Serhiy Lysak said on Telegram that 12 people have been hospitalized, while the remaining of those injured are recovering at home.

The governor said the victims sustained shrapnel wounds, lacerations and bruises. Several fires also broke out following the strike.

“All services are working. They are overcoming the consequences of the enemy strike,” Lysak said.

He claimed that Russian forces also shelled the Pokrovska community in the Nikopol district with heavy artillery later in the evening. Guided aerial bombs and FPV drones struck the Pokrovska and Mezhivska communities in the Synelnyky district, damaging a private residential building.

Russia has yet to respond to the claims​​​​​​​.
