Several damaged buildings were seen in Dnipro on Saturday, after the Ukrainian local government claimed a Russian missile had hit residences and a medical facility used to heal soldiers leaving at least five killed.

Footage shows residents and rescue teams outside shattered houses and damaged facilities at the medical building.

"I rushed into the kitchen and glass was everywhere. I shouted to my son and daughter to ask where they were, and they replied. Nadia was covered in glass. So, to put it in a nutshell, it was a terrible experience. I've lost track. And you know, it's like something incomprehensible flies through the window. Oh, my God! I thought it was the end," a loca resident recalled what happened.

According to Serhii Lysak, head of the Dnipro regional military administration, at least 21 people were injured in the attack on Dnipro including a 17-year-old boy who is in a 'serious condition.'

Moscow has maintained that its strikes target military sites and does not intentionally target civilian infrastructure. No official Russian comment was available at the time of publication.

Moscow launched a military offensive in Ukraine in late February 2022 after recognising the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR), claiming that Kiev had failed to guarantee their special status under the 2014 Minsk Agreements, and urging Ukraine to declare itself officially neutral and give assurances that it would never join NATO.

Kiev denounced the Russian action as an invasion. Zelensky imposed martial law throughout the country, announcing a general mobilisation, while the EU and the US imposed several rounds of sanctions on Moscow.
