Russian troops hit the city of Dnipro with a cruise missile on the evening of April 14, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Governor Serhii Lysak reported.

The attack damaged nine residential houses and injured at least 12 people, including a 15-year-old boy, Lysak said. The boy suffered shrapnel wounds and a contusion.

The Ukrainian Air Force reported that a Russian cruise missile was downed in Dnipro at around 6 p.m.

Apart from Dnipro, Russian troops launched 11 attacks against Dnipropetrovsk Oblast’s Nikopol and nearby settlements, injuring four people.

"Peaceful settlements were under attacks from heavy artillery and drones," Lysak said.

Earlier in the day, Russian troops also hit Donetsk Oblast with an aerial bomb, killing one person and injuring two.

Five people were injured in a Russian attack on Kherson Oblast over the past day.

Intense fighting, lack of resources leave wounded soldiers on their own
Editor’s note: The Kyiv Independent is not disclosing the full names of the soldiers introduced in the story, as they didn’t have a formal authorization to speak to the press. DONETSK OBLAST – Mykhailo arrived at a dugout less than an hour after it was hit by Russian drones.
