Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk region under ‘massive attack’ — governor
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUkraine’s central Dnipropetrovsk region is under a “massive attack,” the governor says, reporting strikes in Dnipro and Pavlograd.
“Explosions are being heard,” Sergiy Lysak writes on Telegram, warning residents to take cover.
Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Dnipropetrovsk had been largely spared from intense fighting. But Kyiv acknowledged on Tuesday that Russian troops had entered the region, after Moscow claimed its troops had gained a foothold there.
Dnipropetrovsk is not one of the five Ukrainian regions — Donetsk, Kherson, Lugansk, Zaporizhzhia and Crimea — that Moscow has publicly claimed as Russian territory.
