Latest attack on Dnipro

On the night of August 30, Dnipro and the Dnipropetrovsk region were attacked by Russia. More than two dozen rockets and about 40 strike drones hit the city. The Russian army relentlessly attacked for three hours. Journalists from the FREEДОМ channel spoke with local residents who were affected by the shelling.

Damage from the attacks

As a result of the shelling, the civilian infrastructure was damaged: a shopping center and several stores incurred significant damage. One private house was completely burned down, but its owner managed to leave the home a day before the tragedy.

“We woke up at three in the morning. It was very loud. My husband is sick, and he started having panic attacks. It was incredibly hard,” said a resident of Dnipro.

Local residents note the incredible roar from the rockets and drones.

“It was terribly loud. From about two in the morning until four in the morning it was very loud. 'Shahed' and ballistic missiles were flying,” added witnesses.

Information about the victims

Currently, information about the injured is being clarified; all necessary services are working on-site to eliminate the consequences of the attacks.

Government response

It is known that as a result of the attacks by the Russian Federation, 14 regions of Ukraine were affected. Damage to residential buildings and infrastructure has been recorded. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky called on international partners to increase pressure on dictator Putin, who continues the war.

This attack was yet another evidence of the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine. Continuous strikes on civilian objects underscore the seriousness of the situation and the need for international solidarity to support Ukraine in these difficult times. In response to Russia's aggression, it is important not only to provide humanitarian aid but also to ensure military support to protect civilians and restore peace in the region.
