At least four people were killed and 34 injured after Russia launched drones and missiles against Dnipro on Wednesday, Governor Serhii Lysak said.

A shopping centre was hit, as well as multiple cars and a gas station, said Mykola Lukashuk, the head of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast regional council.

A fire also broke out near a medical facility, Suspilne wrote.
The injured victims included a 14-year-old girl, Lysak reported. 

Roughly one-third of the injured persons have been hospitalized, two of whom are in serious condition, the governor noted.
