Russian occupation forces struck a residential neighborhood in Dnipro, damaging a dormitory building. During the attack, residents were taking shelter, which prevented any casualties at the time of the strike. 

This was reported by Oleksandr Hanzha, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration.

An emergency rescue operation is currently underway at the scene, with State Emergency Service specialists evacuating people from the basement. Rescuers are inspecting the building for potential further damage and providing necessary assistance to those affected.
