According to the regional governor, a medical clinic in Dnipro, Ukraine, was hit by a missile, resulting in the death of two individuals and injuries to 23 others.
Out of the 23 people who were hurt, 21 are currently admitted to the hospital, and three are in a critical state. The governor, Serhiy Lysak, mentioned that two young boys, aged three and six, were also among those who were injured.
The attacks by Russia on Ukraine have become more frequent in the past few weeks as Ukraine is preparing for a counterattack. The president of Ukraine, Mr. Zelensky, shared a video of a damaged clinic on social media, which displayed firefighters trying to control the fire and smoke emerging from the building, as reported by BBC.
He stated that the Russian terrorists have once again shown that they are opposing anything that is ethical and truthful. Previously, Mr. Lysak had mentioned that the region was subjected to an immense attack with missiles and drones on Thursday night, resulting in a challenging and noisy night, and Dnipro has been affected.
The Ukrainian government reported that they successfully intercepted and destroyed 17 missiles and 31 unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) that were fired from Russia during the night. Some of the drones and missiles hit specific locations in Dnipro and Kharkiv, including an oil storage facility.
Drone Attacks
Officials reported that the city of Kyiv, which is the capital of Ukraine, was also attacked by drones. They stated that parts of the drones that were intercepted fell on the roof of a shopping center and that home and multiple vehicles were harmed as well.
On Friday morning, a residential and office building in the southern city of Krasnodar, Russia, was damaged by an explosion. The governor of the region, Veniamin Kondratyev, has claimed that the damage was caused by two drones from Ukraine. Thankfully, there were no casualties, and critical infrastructure remained intact. Although there was damage to some buildings, it was not severe.

Ukraine's Response
The recent attacks from Russian terrorists on Ukraine have caused widespread destruction and chaos in the affected regions. The Ukrainian government has reported that they are taking all necessary measures to defend their country against these malicious acts of aggression.
In response to the missile and drone attacks, Ukrainian authorities have heightened security measures across major cities and strategic locations throughout the country. They have also called for international support to condemn Russia's actions and provide assistance where needed.
Citizens of Ukraine are understandably concerned about their safety as tensions continue to rise between Russia and its neighboring countries. Many fear that this is just the beginning of a larger conflict that could escalate into something much more dangerous if left unchecked.
Despite all this, Ukrainians remain steadfast in their determination to protect their homeland from foreign aggressors. They know firsthand what it means to fight for independence, having already endured years of conflict with pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine since 2014.
As such, there is no doubt that they will do whatever it takes - even at great personal cost -to safeguard themselves against any further threats or incursions by hostile forces determined to destabilize or annex parts of Ukraine through military force or covert operations like cyberattacks aimed at compromising critical infrastructure systems such as power grids, etc., which can cause significant disruption not only within but beyond borders too!
