Russian forces attacked Dnipropetrovsk Oblast on Nov. 2, injuring eight people, including two children, Governor Serhii Lysak reported.

An explosion was reported near the city of Dnipro soon after an air raid alert went off in the region.

Lysak said that two children were hospitalized in moderate condition as a result of the attack.

An 8-year-old girl sustained shrapnel injuries to her face, while a 15-year-old boy suffered injuries to both his lower legs, Lysak said.

A 83-year-old woman was also hospitalized in serious condition with a leg injury.

The Russian attack damaged the infrastructure, according to Lysak. No further details, including regarding the weapon used, were disclosed.

Dnipro, Ukraine's fourth-largest city with a pre-war population of about one million, has served as a key logistics and humanitarian hub during the full-scale war. It is located approximately 395 kilometers (245 miles) from Kyiv.
