A massive attack struck Ukraine's central Dnipropetrovsk region early Saturday, with explosions reported in the cities of Dnipro and Pavlograd. Residents were urged to seek shelter. Two people were killed in overnight Russian attacks on Friday. Since Russia's February 2022 invasion, Dnipropetrovsk had largely avoided heavy fighting, but Russian troops were confirmed to have entered the region earlier this week. Dnipropetrovsk is not among the five regions claimed by Moscow, unlike Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Crimea.
