Russia launches drone attack on Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region

Russia attacked Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region with drones, a Ukrainian military official said Monday.

Serhii Lysak, head of the region's military administration, said six drones were destroyed by air defenses, but a strike on an infrastructure facility sparked a fire in Dnipro.

No casualties were reported, he said.

Ukraine's air force said Monday that 23 out of 32 Shahed drones launched by Russia toward Dnipropetrovsk and Odesa had been destroyed.

For the second consecutive night, Russian drones attacked Danube River ports in Odesa, Ukrainian officials said Monday, the latest in a spate of assaults on the facilities since Moscow pulled out of the Black Sea grain deal in July.
