Ukraine Reports 2 Dead After Russian Shelling

A fresh wave of Russian drone and missile attacks targeted the Ukrainian city of Dnipro, resulting in at least 10 deaths and dozens of injuries. Local journalists are currently investigating the specific details and impact of the blasts. New explosions were reported in Dnipro on Saturday morning, with air raid alerts active across Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, and the entirety of Donetsk. President Zelensky reported that Moscow launched over 660 drones and missiles, with Dnipro suffering the heaviest impact. The strikes resulted in 7 deaths and more than 30 injuries. The attack is described as an open offensive rather than a negotiation tactic. Ukrainian parliament member Kira Rudik confirmed the scale of the strikes. Dnipro, a strategically important city in central eastern Ukraine, has sustained the largest ever Russian attack. Details regarding specific casualties or infrastructure damage from this specific latest wave are still emerging. Russian military reports claim the use of high-precision long-range weapons against Ukrainian energy and port infrastructure in response to previous strikes. Two men, aged 48 and 72, were killed in the eastern Ukrainian region of Sumy following heavy Russian shelling. The attack followed intense Russian bombardments on the city of Dnipro the previous day, which reportedly caused at least 8 deaths and 49 injuries.
