Ukrainian forces shot down 13 drones and one missile over Dnipropetrovsk Oblast during nighttime attacks on Oct. 2-3, Governor Serhii Lysak wrote on Telegram.

Falling debris damaged civilian infrastructure, but firefighters quickly controlled the ensuing blaze.

In Pavlohrad, located 75 kilometers east of the regional capital Dnipro, a drone and other debris from downed drones struck a factory, causing a fire and other damage.

Also in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Russian shelling hit the Myrivska community, causing additional destruction to private homes.

Lysak wrote that no casualties were reported.
