According to TSN.ua: Russian forces launched a prolonged assault on the city of Dnipro overnight on February 12, employing ballistic missiles and drones in an attack lasting from 9:38 PM until 4:53 AM. The strike caused significant damage to infrastructure, private homes, and vehicles, with a series of powerful explosions reported at the impact sites.

The infant was hospitalized and is reported by physician Oleksandr Ganzha to be in a condition of moderate severity. The assault underscores the grave risks to civilians, including the very young, from long-range missile attacks.
