A Russian mass drone attack killed

two people and injured 16 on Wednesday evening in the

southeastern Ukrainian city of Dnipro, the regional governor

said.



Serhiy Lysak, governor of Dnipropetrovsk region, wrote on

the Telegram messaging app that a young woman and an elderly

woman had been killed.



Three children, aged 11 and six years old and nine months,

were among the injured. Five people were being treated in

hospital.



Lysak said the attack triggered several fires, damaging

private homes and an educational institution. Dnipro Mayor Borys

Public broadcaster Suspilne posted pictures of a large

blaze and firefighters at the scene.
