At least seven people were killed in a series of Russian strikes across Ukraine that continued throughout the night and into Saturday morning.

The strikes caused widespread damage, prompting immediate emergency responses in several locations across the country.[1][2]
The city of Dnipro suffered the most significant impact, with officials confirming that a residential apartment building was hit during the strikes. Emergency teams and rescue workers were deployed to the site to search for survivors trapped under the debris.

As the sun rose on Saturday, the scale of the destruction became clearer across the affected areas. President Zelensky emphasized the duration of the overnight assault, which lasted for many hours. Recovery efforts remained ongoing as authorities worked to clear the rubble and provide assistance to those affected by the strikes on civilian housing.[1][2]
