- Story Text:A mass Russian drone attack killed four people, injured 19 and sparked a large fire in a hotel and restaurant complex and other buildings late on Friday (March 28) in the southeastern Ukrainian city of Dnipro, the regional governor said.
Serhiy Lysak, governor of the surrounding Dnipropetrovsk region, said on Telegram that a high-rise apartment building and nearly 10 private homes had caught fire. Firefighting crews had brought the blaze in the hotel complex under control. In an earlier post, Lysak said the casualty toll was likely to rise, with three of the injured in serious condition.
Reuters witnesses saw flames and large plumes of smoke rising from the bombed structure. Emergency vehicles could be seen outside a high-rise apartment block.
Reuters was able to independently verify both the location and the date of the incident.
