Strikes in Dnipro Injure Civilians and Families Fleeing Violence [EN/UK/RU]

HUMANITARIAN COORDINATOR FOR UKRAINE DENISE BROWN DEPLORES AN ATTACK IN DNIPRO, IMPACTING CIVILIANS, INCLUDING CHILDREN AND DISPLACED PEOPLE

This evening, a dozen civilians, including children, were injured in Dnipro City in eastern Ukraine by a strike. Education facilities, a collective centre and houses were also damaged.

Among the affected are people who had fled violence and sought shelter in Dnipro City.

I am outraged that, once again, attacks shattered the lives of families. And once again, children and schools were affected.

I am appalled by the apparent pattern of attacks from the Russian Federation. International humanitarian law must be respected.
