At least four people were killed and six wounded in overnight Russian missile and drone attacks on industrial cities in Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk region, according to regional governor Oleksandr Hanzha. Hanzha said on Telegram on Tuesday that ballistic missiles struck Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih and Pavlohrad. The reported casualties occurred in Dnipro, where people were still believed to be trapped beneath the rubble of a damaged industrial facility.
