A 51-year-old man was killed and at least six other civilians were injured in a Russian missile attack on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro, regional governor Serhiy Lysak reported on Telegram late on Sept. 2.

One of the injured, a 37-year-old man was hospitalized, while the others were treated at the scene.

Several residential buildings, an enterprise, and more than a dozen cars were damaged in one of Dnipro's districts.

The explosion was described as extremely loud, shattering windows in a kindergarten and seven private homes, shaking houses, and causing panic among residents.

On the same evening, another Russian strike killed two people, including an 8-year-old boy, and injured two others in the city of Zaporizhzhya.

The Russian attack on Zaporizhzhya came hours after Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof made an unannounced visit to the city to greet students on their first day of school alongside President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Explosions were also reported in the cities of Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Mykolaiv and Kyiv Oblast.
