Russian rockets destroy airport in Ukrainian city of Dnipro

Russian missiles destroyed an airport in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro and five emergency workers were injured in the attack.

“There has been another attack on Dnipro airport. There is nothing left of it,” Valentyn Reznichenko, governor of the central Dnipropetrovsk region, said on Sunday.

“The airport itself and the infrastructure around it has been destroyed. Rockets keep flying and flying,” Reznichenko said on Telegram.

A missile also hit a building in the city’s Pavlohrad district, and emergency workers were combing through an infrastructure facility that was hit in the town of Zvonetsky.

Reznichenko said attacks on Dnipro city, which lies on the banks of the Dnieper River, intensified on Sunday.

The industrial city of one million people has been targeted by Russian forces since the invasion, but has so far been spared major destruction.
