(Reuters) -A Russian mass drone attack killed two people and injured 16 on Wednesday evening in the southeastern Ukrainian city of Dnipro, the regional governor said.
Serhiy Lysak, governor of Dnipropetrovsk region, wrote on the Telegram messaging app that a young woman and an elderly woman had been killed.
Three children, aged 11 and six years old and nine months, were among the injured. Five people were being treated in hospital.
Lysak said the attack triggered several fires, damaging private homes and an educational institution. Dnipro Mayor Borys Filatov, also writing on Telegram, said one strike came within 100 metres (300 feet) of the municipal offices.
Public broadcaster Suspilne posted pictures of a large blaze and firefighters at the scene.
