4 killed in Russian drone strike on Ukrainian apartment building in Synelnykove

A Russian drone strike on a residential apartment building in the city of Synelnykove, located in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region, has killed four people and injured 13 others, according to regional authorities. The attack occurred on the evening of Saturday, October 24, when the drone struck a multi-story building, igniting a fire on the fourth floor and causing damage to nearby shops and parked vehicles.

Initially, three civilians were confirmed dead at the scene. The death toll rose to four after a 62-year-old man who had been critically wounded in the strike succumbed to his injuries in a local hospital on Sunday morning. Among the 13 injured individuals, an 11-year-old girl was reported to be among the victims. Regional health authorities confirmed that four patients remain hospitalized in serious condition.

The strike was part of a broader series of attacks on the Dnipropetrovsk region over the past day, during which Russian forces targeted multiple districts using drones and aerial bombs. Oleksandr Hanzha, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration, confirmed the casualty figures and the damage to civilian infrastructure.
