The war in Ukraine. Russia attacks Dnipro, a 2-year-old girl dies and 22 other

A two-year-old girl has been killed and 22 others injured after a suspected Russian airstrike in a residential area of ​​the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro.

Her body was pulled from the rubble of a house in the Pidhorodnenska community overnight, the region's governor said. Serhiy Lysak said five of the injured were children, with three boys in serious condition in hospital.

An earlier video shared by Ukraine's president showed rescuers searching the remains of a two-story building. Volodymyr Zelensky has blamed Russia for the attack, but the Kremlin has yet to comment on the events.

Explosions have also been heard over the capital, Kiev, where air defense systems have been deployed again. The entire country was placed under air raid alerts earlier.

Zelensky described the explosion in Dnipro as a deliberate Russian attack, although Russia has previously denied targeting civilians during its occupation of the neighboring country.

Fires broke out after the alleged attack in a northern neighborhood of the city, according to the regional governor, who said 17 of those injured in the explosion were taken to hospital.

Explosions were also reported in other parts of the country. Air defense systems were engaged early Sunday in repelling airstrikes near Kiev, the head of the military administration of the Ukrainian capital Kiev said.
