Five killed, 34 injured in Russian attack on Dnipro

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, commenting on the Russian missile attack on Dnipro, said that the death toll had increased to five.

The Ukrainian leader announced this on his Telegram channel, Ukrinform reports.

"As of now, five people have been killed, and thirty-four injured, including a child. All necessary services are on site, and rescuers are helping all the victims," Zelensky wrote.

He also noted that only two things could stop this Russian terror – "modern air defense systems and the long-range capabilities of our weapons."
