Russia’s missile attack on the Dnipropetrovsk region on June 24 left more than 340 people injured, including 38 children. Search and rescue efforts are ongoing, with several individuals still reported missing.
The update was shared on Facebook by Ukraine’s Minister of Internal Affairs, Ihor Klymenko, as reported by Ukrinform.
“In total, more than 340 people have been injured, including 38 children. Search and rescue operations are ongoing, and several individuals are still reported missing,” Klymenko stated.
He emphasized that emergency response teams and law enforcement are working around the clock to carry out rescue efforts and address the aftermath of the strikes.
Klymenko also conducted an operational meeting in the Dnipropetrovsk region, joined by Regional Military Administration head Serhiy Lysak, State Emergency Service chief Andriy Danyk, National Police head Ivan Vyhivskyi, and other Ministry of Internal Affairs personnel. He later traveled to one of the region’s most remote communities in the east.
“We reviewed the current security needs and next steps with local leadership. I also had the honor of awarding police and emergency service members who continue to serve the community—both in peacetime and under the threat of enemy fire,” the minister added.
