Russian missiles hit a residential complex and a nearby building of Ukraine's security service in the central city of Dnipro on Thursday, officials said, injuring nine people and causing widespread damage.
Dnipro Mayor Borys Filatov said it was the third time the SBU security service building had been targeted. Both buildings were largely empty - the residential building because it had just been completed and units were being put up for sale.
"There were two hits in Dnipro at about 8.30 p.m. (1730 GMT), Iskander missiles, according to preliminary information," Lysak said on national television.
"Part of the apartment building was destroyed. It was not even yet in use and there weren't many people there. A few people were trapped but are now out. The security service building is partially destroyed."

Had FR yet united that Russia is the evil side here yet?
You will be ZOTTED in the near future. No need to respond to your rants.
This "event" involving so many moving parts. to include multinational companies and being a hot war, means both sides take losses. And give losses. Reuters is moving towards reporting the tit-for-tat. Ditto other Western media. This is actually a sea-change in media.
btt
No… some dinosaurs still oppose the Nazis and think they are evil.
Vlad doesn’t waste his Iskanders. Fact is they strike with extreme precision, whatever they hit is no accident, and ALL of them hit high value military targets.
The Ukies hide much amongst their civilian infrastructure, just another tactic illustrating their desperation. Vlad’s on the ground, human intelligence trumps the US satellite pictures given to the Ukies, every time…..not all the Ukies support the corrupted little comedian, in fact, most have had enough.
Think about it, what would those Iskanders be used on? Warsaw? Olso? Berlin? Nuclear tipped to Paris? Save for what
The Industrial Revolution has caused all like enterprises to be incorporated into the same or co-located structures. This was for communications and efficiency. If you needed a machine and that machine could be shared, then locating all the machine’s users next to each other made sense. During wartime the German’s discovered they could spread out the production of the FW190 across lots of little locations. Sometimes the plane’s components were brought together and assembled under a temporary shed and flown off a street. When it comes to wartime, I think the idea of co-locating things is counterproductive. The necessity for co-location
for communications is long gone. It would be best to spread out all government functions and many industrial sites so that they are harder to locate and made into such miniscule targets that no individual location is worth the expenditure.
Not a matter of good and evil. The issue is US involvement in a proxy war against Russia, a war that doesn’t affect our vital national security interests and a war we can’t afford.
This war has been going on since 2014. It started after a U.S./EU engineered coup of the duly elected government of Ukraine led by Victoria Nuland spawned the separatist movement in the Donbas and precipitated the first Russian invasion that resulted in the annexation of Crimea.
Even if all that it true, even if.
It’s like a boyfriend going back and killing an ex 5 years later. That’s how Russia’s invasion is, even in the best ‘victimization’ circumstance.
QED Putin got butthurt over nothing and went stupid.
That Vlad is such a genius.
Think about it, what would those Iskanders be used on? Warsaw? Olso? Berlin? Nuclear tipped to Paris? Save for what.
—————-
Vlad assumes NATO ( and the West) will at some point Cross the Line and get directly involved, most likely when the Ukies retreat up to the Dniepner.
Many here simply don’t understand Russia is preparing and is prepared for a collective West / Nato war, the Ukrainian sector has been getting the “ table scraps”….
If conventional,everything from London to Stockholm to Athens to Madrid and everything in between ( Brussels especially) becomes a legitimate target, they will be hit in a few short minutes.Meanwhile Vlad must protect his borders from the collective West attacks along Poland, Baltics, north , etc…a lot of border to protect.
I don’t buy into the nuke fear peddling. It only goes nuclear if the West screws up.
Do keep in mind one fact: the only country to ever use nukes is the United States.
You can try to rationalize it, spin it, but the US has used nukes, no other country in the world has…….and with a senile, old man in our White House?
Carry on war cheerleaders.
That Vlad is such a genius.

Take a good look around, the US has a feeble, senile old man Biden, England Boris now Sunak, a practicing Hindu, Germany Schultz- the German Socialist Party member, France Macron, Ukraine Zelensky a corrupted little comedian, all totally unqualified, totally socialist nitwits who have already destroyed their own countries.
Yes, Vlad IS a genius compared to the Western leadership….and the only leader that looks after his own citizens. One look at the failed collective Western “leadership”…..argue away.
‘Do keep in mind one fact: the only country to ever use nukes is the United States.’
Wow to bring that up shows your Kremlin paid leftwing insanity. That’s right out of the left of the left.
