The strike targeted the Kamianske district, starting a fire and damaging administrative buildings, houses, a school, a shop, and cars, authorities said.
The fatalities included a man and a woman. All of the 11 injured victims have been hospitalized, one of whom — a 29-year-old woman — is in serious condition.
The type of weapon used by Russia in the attack was not specified.
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.
Over the past day, at least seven people were killed and 25 injured across Ukrainian regions in Russian strikes.
