Russian drone attack kills one, injures six in Ukraine’s Dnipro

March 28 – A Russian drone attack killed one person, injured six and sparked a large fire in a hotel and restaurant complex and other buildings late on Friday in the southeastern Ukrainian city of Dnipro, the regional governor said.

Serhiy Lysak, governor of the surrounding Dnipropetrovsk region, said two of the injured were in serious condition. Firefighters were bringing the blaze under control.

“A large fire has broken out in the restaurant complex,” Lysak wrote earlier on the Telegram messaging app. “There was also a fire in a multi-storey apartment building and private houses.”

Pictures and videos posted online showed flames, large plumes of smoke wafting skyward in the city and streets strewn with shattered glass and building materials.
