"A four-story building has been damaged as a result of the Russian attack on Dnipro," the statement reads.

The enemy also attacked an industrial facility.

"Fourteen people were injured in an enemy attack on Dnipro. Among them is a child—a 9-year-old boy. He received medical attention and will be treated on an outpatient basis."

"Nine people have been hospitalized. All are in moderate condition," added Hanzha.
