April 15 was declared a day of mourning in Dnipro for those killed in the Russian missile strike

Wednesday, April 15, has been officially declared a day of mourning in Dnipro for the victims of the massive missile attack launched by the aggressor the previous day. 

This was announced by Mayor Boris Filatov. National flags will be flown at half-mast on city council and municipal utility buildings, and private institutions are encouraged to display flags with black ribbons.

Five people were killed in the enemy shelling on Tuesday, and another 27 were injured to varying degrees. According to Oleksandr Hanzha, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional State Administration, 22 victims remain in hospitals, 12 of whom are in critical condition due to injuries to the chest, abdomen, and limbs. Five of the wounded are currently receiving outpatient treatment, and psychologists are working with those in shock.

This bloody attack on civilians occurred against the backdrop of large-scale agreements between Ukraine and Germany to strengthen air defense and supply missiles for the Patriot systems. While Dnipro is dealing with the aftermath of yet another war crime, the Russian economy has officially entered a systemic recession under the pressure of military spending and international isolation. City authorities are urging residents to remain vigilant and follow safety protocols during air raid alerts.
