Russian Strikes Pound Dnipropetrovsk Region, Killing One and Wounding 12

The scale and targets point to a pattern against civilian life that rights experts say could carry legal consequences.

Overview

  • Regional officials reported more than 40 strikes across four districts that killed one person and injured 12, including a hospitalized 6-year-old girl and a 58-year-old man.
  • In Nikopol district, blasts damaged a hospital, a market, a gas station, several businesses, an administrative building, homes, apartment blocks and cars.
  • Infrastructure in Kamianske district was also hit, and a 48-year-old man was injured in Dniprovskyi district.
  • Ukrainian authorities and international groups classify the strikes as war crimes, a claim Russia denies.
  • Some lawyers and genocide scholars say repeated attacks on power, water and healthcare could meet parts of the UN genocide definition.
