Five people have been killed, including a child, and several have been injured in Russian attacks on the metropolis of Dnipro in central Ukraine on Friday evening, according to the regional governor Serhij Lysak.

Four residential buildings in different parts of the city were hit in the attack. A healthcare facility was also damaged.

Earlier on Friday evening, a 14-year-old girl was killed when a Russian drone hit a high-rise building in central Kyiv, according to the city's prosecutor's office.

A fire broke out in two apartments on the 20th and 21st floors of the 24-story residential building. At least five people were injured. Prosecutors are investigating the attack as a war crime.

Another person was killed near the capital.

"Russian murderers have returned to their usual activities", writes Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyj on X.
