Russian Missile Attack on Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk Region Kills 19, Wounds Hundreds

HeadlineJun 25, 2025

In Ukraine, a barrage of Russian missiles struck in and around the southeastern city of Dnipro on Tuesday, killing at least 19 people and injuring more than 270, including children. It was among the deadliest attacks on Ukraine since Russia’s invasion, causing extensive damage to schools, a cathedral, a sports arena, a music venue, and eight medical centers — along with residences and even a passenger train. Tuesday’s attack came just one day after Russian strikes on the capital Kyiv killed nine people and wounded more than 30 others. Russia’s stepped-up violence came as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy traveled to the NATO summit in The Hague, where he’s set to meet today with President Trump and other leaders of NATO member countries.
