10 killed, over 90 injured in Russian missile strike on central Ukraine

At least 10 people were killed and more than 90 injured on Tuesday as Russian missiles struck two cities in Ukraine’s central Dnipropetrovsk region, regional governor Sergii Lysak said.

In the city of Dnipro, at least eight people were killed and around 84 injured in the attack, Lysak said on Telegram.

Dnipro Mayor Borys Filatov described the strike as one of the most severe assaults on the city since the start of the conflict. He said that 34 educational institutions, eight healthcare facilities, and a passenger train traveling from Odesa to Zaporizhzhia were damaged in the attack.

Elsewhere, in the city of Samar — located about 26 km northeast of Dnipro — two people were killed and 11 injured.

Meanwhile, Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans on Tuesday announced a new military aid package worth 175 million euros ($203 million) for Ukraine.

The package includes radar systems, unmanned vehicles, and drones, along with contracts with Ukrainian companies to manufacture drones.

The announcement coincided with the opening of NATO’s annual summit in The Hague.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in The Hague on Tuesday, and met with Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof.
