• a farm.

Fires ignited during the strike caused further damage to civilian infrastructure.

Humanitarian Impact of the Conflict

This strike is part of the wider war between Russia and Ukraine, which escalated with a full-scale invasion in February 2022. The Dnipropetrovsk region in central Ukraine has been a frequent target for missile and drone attacks, highlighting the persistent threat to civilian areas far from the front lines. The destruction of civilian property and the wounding of non-combatants underscore the ongoing humanitarian cost of the conflict for ordinary citizens.
