Russian drones strike Ukrainian public broadcaster newsroom in Dnipro, injuring two

Russian drones attacked the Ukrainian city of Dnipro overnight into Tuesday, damaging the city's newsroom of public broadcaster Suspilne and Ukrainian Radio Dnipro.

Suspilne said windows and doors were blown out, the roof and ceilings were damaged, and a fire broke out. No staff were inside at the time of the attack.

The nationwide public broadcaster operates television, radio and online news across regional outlets throughout Ukraine.

Regional governor Vladyslav Haivanenko said Ukrainian air defence forces shot down more than 30 drones in the attack on the city. Two people were injured, he added.

Several fires broke out, damaging private businesses, garages, apartment buildings, shops, kiosks, and administrative offices.

The attack also affected the railway infrastructure. Ukrainian Railways reported delays to passenger trains due to damage to the station and several train cars, temporarily disrupting transport in the region. Emergency services worked at the sites to help restore operations.

Dnipro Mayor Borys Filatov accused the Russian military of deliberately targeting civilian objects, saying: “You are simply bombing civilian facilities to deprive people of work and bankrupt entrepreneurs.”

Teen killed in Kharkiv region

Russian forces also launched missiles at the city of Berestyn in the Kharkiv region, killing a 17-year-old girl and injuring nine others, according to regional authorities.

It comes a day after three people were killed in an attack on Balakliya, also in the Kharkiv region.

Ukraine's Air Force said Russia launched a total of four ballistic missiles and 114 drones at Ukraine overnight, of which 101 drones were intercepted.

On Monday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a landmark deal in Paris to purchase up to 100 Rafale warplanes, drones, air defence systems and other equipment from France over the next 10 years.

Zelenskyy is seeking to strengthen Ukraine's defences as the country enters another winter under Russian bombardment of its cities, energy infrastructure and other civilian targets.

On Saturday, Zelenskyy once again called on his allies to supply Ukraine with more air defence systems.

"Ukraine needs support to save lives: more air defence systems, more protection capabilities and greater determination on the part of our partners," the Ukrainian leader wrote on X.

"This is the only way to put an end to Russian terror and guarantee Ukrainian families the fundamental right to security in their own homes," he concluded.
