The United Nations reported that five people were killed and 47 others were injured in these attacks, including a child among the injured. In addition to human casualties, several hospitals, schools, and a center for displaced persons were also damaged. Rescue and humanitarian teams have arrived on the scene and are assisting the victims. These teams are providing medical and therapeutic services as well as psychological support to the affected individuals. The day before, similar attacks in the Donetsk, Kharkiv, and Kherson regions resulted in the deaths and injuries of over 40 civilians and damage to urban infrastructure. Humanitarian organizations continue their activities across Ukraine, having assisted more than five million people in the first five months of 2024. Dnipro, which had a population of nearly one million before the onset of the Russian military invasion of Ukraine, is one of Ukraine's major cities and is located near the eastern road of the country, which has witnessed the fiercest clashes with Russian forces. Since the beginning of the Russian military invasion of Ukraine, this city has continuously been targeted by missile and drone attacks.
