April 14 strike: what we know so far

Today is a day of mourning in Dnipro — honoring the memory of five missile strike victims. Russians killed five men in Dnipro. They were 40, 44, 45, 55, and 62 years old.

Another 27 were wounded. The enemy hit the city with ballistic missiles around noon yesterday. A fire broke out. A gas station, a cafe, and many cars were mangled.

The dead and wounded are civilians who were driving by, walking on business, or just drinking coffee. Around two dozen injured remain hospitalized. Twelve are in serious condition, aged between 21 and 67.

The explosion occurred around noon amid a ballistic missile alert. A large column of smoke was visible from several districts of the city. Firefighters have since extinguished the blaze.

The strike damaged civilian infrastructure, including a cafe, a shop, and vehicles. No residential buildings were located nearby. Preliminary reports indicate Russia used an Iskander ballistic missile.

Condition of the injured

“We are currently at the hospital where doctors are treating the wounded. More than two dozen victims were hospitalized from the explosion site. At this moment, five deaths are confirmed, including one person who died in hospital despite doctors’ efforts. All of them were people passing by,” said Olha Pavlovska.

Doctors report blast injuries, shrapnel wounds, fractures, and lacerations. Nine people remain in critical condition, with surgeries ongoing.

The aftermath: cleanup and recovery

Emergency services continue working at the strike site. The area remains sealed off, and traffic is restricted. Regional authorities released footage showing cleanup crews clearing debris, with broken glass scattered across the area.
