A Russian drone attack on the city of Synelnykove in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk Oblast killed three people and injured eight others on Saturday, 24 October. Oleksandr Hanzha, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Military Administration, reported the strike. It is part of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine, in which civilians in the region continue to come under drone and artillery fire.

According to Hanzha, a fire broke out on the third floor of a multi-storey building. A shop and several cars were also damaged.

Casualties

An 11-year-old girl is among the injured. All of the wounded have been taken to hospital. Two of them, a 50-year-old woman and a 70-year-old man, are in serious condition.

Wider situation in the oblast

The oblast military administration reported that Russian forces attacked six districts of the region more than 60 times using drones and artillery. As a result of those strikes, two people were killed and four were injured: three adults and one child.

Earlier the same day, a Russian drone hit a food shop in the Nikopol district of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. Three men and a 14-year-old boy were wounded.
