Three killed in Russian missile attack on Dnipro: Governor | Al Jazeera

At least three people have been killed and 15 injured in a Russian missile attack on the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro on Friday, according to the regional governor, Valentyn Reznychenko.

“The rockets hit an industrial plant and a busy street next to it,” Rezynchenko said on his Facebook page. “We are determining the extent of the destruction.”

Ukraine’s air force said several cruise missiles fired from strategic bombers over the Caspian Sea hit a factory at about 10pm (19:00 GMT) in Dnipro, a major city on the Dnieper River. Four incoming missiles were shot down, it said. Videos posted on social media showed plumes of thick black smoke rising from the buildings and cars on fire.
