In a chilling escalation, a Russian missile strike on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro has killed five people, including children, and injured 21 others in a brutal attack on residential areas and the Mechnikov Hospital—a vital center for treating wounded Ukrainian soldiers. A police officer’s family was devastated, with only his younger daughter surviving. President Zelensky condemned the relentless attacks, calling for international unity and pressure against Moscow. Dnipro, a critical humanitarian hub, has been repeatedly battered as Russia’s assault on Ukraine enters its third year.
Local and international leaders now face mounting pressure to address the suffering inflicted on civilians in this prolonged conflict, as Ukraine struggles to defend its cities and essential infrastructure against continued missile onslaughts.
