KYIV, Ukraine – Russia launches a rare daytime drone attack on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro, killing one man, injuring 20 other people, and damaging medical facilities and residential and office buildings, officials say.

Serhiy Lysak, the regional governor, says the attack targeted the center of the industrial city at a time when people were at work and children were in schools.

On the Telegram app, he shares a video showing heavy smoke billowing above buildings and firefighters battling the blaze in the centre of Dnipro, which serves as an industrial and business hub for southeastern Ukraine.

Lysak says an office building was on fire, adding that several other buildings and dozens of cars were damaged.
