Russian troops attacked three districts of Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region almost 40 times on 9 October. The region lies in central and eastern Ukraine and has been targeted by Russian attacks during the full-scale war. One person was killed as a result of the strikes.

Weapons used

According to the Ukrainian outlet Ukrainska Pravda, the attacks involved drones, artillery and a missile. The region was therefore hit both with longer-range means and with shorter-range weapons.

What the source does not say

The report does not name the districts affected, identify the person who died, or say whether there were injuries or damage to infrastructure. If such details emerge, they will need to be added separately. For now, only the number of attacks, the types of weapons used and one death have been confirmed.

Daily reports of this kind show that civilians in regions farther from the immediate front line continue to face threats from the air and from artillery fire.
