Death toll after Russian June 28 strike on Dnipro rose to six
The head of the Dnipropetrovsk RMA, Serhiy Lysak, reported that Russian troops launched a combined attack on the Dnipro on July 3 — hitting with missiles and drones.
The attack damaged a shopping centre and caused a fire near one of the medical facilities.
Also that night, the body of the third person who died under the rubble of a high-rise building in Dnipro, which was hit by a Russian rocket on June 28, was found.
Apartments from the 8th to the 11th floors have been destroyed in one of the entrances, so rescuers have been sorting through the debris for several days. In total, three people were killed and 12 others were injured in the attack.
