Bus Attack in Ternivka Leaves 16 Injured Following Russian Assault on Dnipro Region

According to Novyny.live: On February 2, 2026, Russian forces launched attacks on Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region, targeting the city of Ternivka. A strike on a bus resulted in 16 civilian casualties, a grim reminder of the ongoing war's toll on non-combatants. The nighttime assault was carried out using attack drones, inflicting severe consequences on the local population. This attack is part of a wider pattern of strikes on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure that has persisted since the full-scale invasion began in 2022.

Widespread Damage from the Assaults

In Ternivka, shelling also ignited fires in an administrative building and an adjacent structure. Within the Vasylkiv community of the Synelnykove district, two private houses and a farm building sustained damage. In the Nikopol area, the Russian army employed artillery, FPV drones, and 'Grad' multiple rocket launcher systems. The communities of Nikopol, Marhanets, and Pokrovske came under fire, resulting in damage to an industrial enterprise and a power line.

These events confirm the continuation of military operations on Ukrainian soil and the persistent threat to civilians. As noted by Dnipropetrovsk Regional Council Head Mykola Lukashuk, the situation remains tense, with local residents in urgent need of support and protection.

Such attacks point to an escalation of the conflict in the region, impacting civilian safety and critical infrastructure. Ukrainian government and local authorities continue to work on ensuring citizen protection and providing necessary aid to the victims. However, the critical situation underscores the importance of sustained international support and efforts to achieve peace in Ukraine.
