“We know that there are three dead, including a child, and five injured, including a twelve-year-old girl,” the head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration, Valentin Reznichenko, has said via his Telegram account. “Several private houses have been completely destroyed. Rescue workers are removing debris and searching for people,” he has added.

Thus, he has warned that “there is still the possibility that there are children there (trapped in the rubble)” and has put the total number of buildings damaged by the attack at “more than 60”. “There will be revenge,” Reznichenko stressed, adding the label ‘Russia is a terrorist state’.
