Russian drone attack sparks fire at business centre in central Dnipro
A Russian jet-powered drone struck central Dnipro overnight, setting a business centre's roof ablaze and scattering debris onto a car park near the city council building. No injuries have been reported.
Russian forces launched a jet-powered drone attack on central Dnipro during the night of 2-3 October, causing a fire to break out on the roof of a business centre, according to Oleksandr Hanzha, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Military Administration, citing both his own information and reports from Ukraine's Air Force.
Firefighters responded quickly to the scene and managed to contain the blaze. Initial reports suggest that no one was injured in the strike.
Dnipro Mayor Borys Filatov said that debris from the drone had fallen onto a car park located near the city council building. Local media reported that the explosion in Dnipro occurred at 23:09. Ukraine's Air Force had earlier warned that a jet-powered unmanned aerial vehicle was heading toward the city.
This attack follows an earlier strike on Dnipro the previous evening, on 2 October, when Russian forces injured three women in the city.
