Russian missile kills five in Ukraine's Dnipro, officials say


April 14 (Reuters) - ⁠A Russian missile strike on ⁠Tuesday killed at least five civilians ‌in Ukraine's southeast city of Dnipro, and injured over two dozen more, Ukrainian officials ​said.

"These were civilians who ⁠were simply driving ⁠down the road in their cars. ⁠People ‌who were going about their business, heading home to ⁠their families," Ukraine's infrastructure minister Oleksiy ​Kuleba ‌said on the Telegram app.

An infrastructure ⁠facility ​was damaged in the strike, according to prosecutors.

At least 10 people hospitalised ⁠were in a severe ​condition, the regional governor Oleksandr Ganzha added on Telegram. One of the ⁠victims, a 40-year-old man, died in the hospital, he said.

A video shared by officials showed cars with ​traces of blood and ⁠damage from debris. A shop nearby ​had its floor-to-ceiling ‌windows blown out.
