“Dnipropetrovsk Officials Urge Informational Silence as Russia Steps Up Attacks on Ukraine”

The head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Council, Nikolai Lukashuk, urged citizens to maintain informational silence.

“Remember the safety rules and maintain information silence,” he wrote in Telegram.

At the same time, the head of the Dnipropetrovsk OVA, Serhiy Lysak, reported on the work of the air defense.

“Thanks to PMC” Vostok “for the excellent work! Details later,” he wrote in Telegram.

Monitoring groups report that the Russians probably fired an Iskander missile at the city.

Russia stepped up its attacks

Dnipro is hit by Russian missile or drone attacks from time to time. The last time explosions were heard in the Dnieper on May 8, then the local authorities reported on the work of the air defense forces.

Note that in recent weeks, the Russians have stepped up their attacks on Ukraine. Typically, attacks occur at night.

As Natalya Gumenyuk, spokeswoman for the Southern Defense Forces, explained, the Russians are doing this in order to complicate the work of the air defense forces, as well as to exhaust the Ukrainians.
