Russian Drone Barrage Hits Dnipro, Damaging Public Broadcaster and Rail Hub

The overnight assault caused fires and outages despite air defenses intercepting many drones.

Overview

  • A large drone strike on Dnipro injured two people and sparked multiple fires, with regional authorities reporting damage to residential blocks, businesses, and critical infrastructure.
  • The building housing Suspilne Dnipro and Ukrainian Radio Dnipro caught fire and suffered blown‑out windows and structural damage, though no staff were inside.
  • Rail operations were disrupted as the blast wave shattered station windows and a suburban electric‑train depot was hit for the second time, causing delays of about 2.5 hours before services were restored using reserve locomotives.
  • Officials said parts of Dnipropetrovsk region lost power during the attack and reported that air defenses destroyed 33 drones over the oblast.
  • Separately, a missile strike in Kharkiv’s Berestyn killed a 17‑year‑old and wounded others, and Russian‑installed authorities in occupied Donetsk reported damage at thermal power plants that Ukraine has not confirmed.
