Russia launched an attack against the western part of Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk Oblast on July 29, killing three people, including a pregnant woman, and injuring 22 others, authorities reported.

The strike targeted the Kamianske district, damaging an uninhabited three-story building and nearby medical facilities, including a maternity hospital and a hospital ward, according to officials.

The fatalities included a 23-year-old pregnant woman named Diana, President Volodymyr Zelensky later confirmed.

The injured victims include 10 nurses and other medical workers. At least two people remain in critical condition, including one medical specialist and another pregnant woman, Governor Serhii Lysak said.

Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, a region in central-eastern Ukraine, is regularly targeted in Russian aerial and artillery attacks, often resulting in civilian casualties.

Recent weeks saw Russia escalate its strikes across Ukraine, launching record numbers of drones and missiles across the country.
