KYIV (Reuters) -Russia launched a ballistic missile into Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk region on Friday, killing one and wounding at least one other person and causing a fire, the regional governor said.
The attack came hours before a planned summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska to discuss a ceasefire deal for Ukraine.
“A truck and a minibus were damaged in a hostile attack on the Dnipro district. A man was killed. Another person was injured,” Serhiy Lysak said on the Telegram messenger.
The city of Dnipro is a logistics hub for Ukrainian forces, and the Dnipropetrovsk region borders the combat zone and is regularly shelled by Russian forces.
