Editor's note: This is a developing story and is being updated.

A Russian "kamikaze" attack drone injured 12 people in Nikopol in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast on April 10, including a 16-year-old boy, Governor Serhii Lysak reported.

The boy is in serious condition, the governor said. A dormitory and five cars were damaged in the attack.

The full consequences of the strike are being determined.

Nikopol, located on the banks of the destroyed Kakhovka Reservoir, just across from Russian-occupied Enerhodar and the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, is a regular target of artillery and drone strikes.

Russian attacks across Ukrainian regions over the past day killed at least five civilians and injured at least 24, regional authorities reported early on April 10.
