A Russian missile strike on the city of Dnipro killed a 42-year-old man and injured nine others on April 10, authorities reported.

"A large-scale fire broke out at the site of the strike. There is damage on the territory of a civilian facility," Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Governor Serhii Lysak wrote on Telegram.

Among the injured is a 55-year-old woman in serious condition. The others are hospitalized in moderate condition. Firefighters continue efforts to contain the blaze.

The strike destroyed part of a storage facility belonging to Biosphere Corporation, a Ukrainian manufacturer of household goods. Company founder Andrii Zdesenko said the attack caused serious damage.

"We are now working to eliminate the fire to prevent it from spreading to our production facilities," he said in a statement posted on Facebook.

Dnipro, Ukraine's fourth-largest city and a critical logistics and humanitarian hub in the country's central-east, has faced repeated Russian missile and drone attacks since the start of the full-scale invasion.

The attacks come as Moscow continues to refuse a U.S. proposal for a total 30-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.

Kyiv has already said it is ready to accept a full ceasefire once Russia also complies with the terms.
