KYIV - Russia launched a rare daytime drone attack on Sept 30 on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro, killing one man, injuring 20 other people, and damaging medical facilities and residential and office buildings, officials said.

On the Telegram messaging app, he shared a video showing heavy smoke billowing above buildings and firefighters battling the blaze in the centre of Dnipro, which serves as an industrial and business hub for south-eastern Ukraine.
Mr Lysak said an office building was on fire, adding that several other buildings and dozens of cars were damaged.
