Russian strikes kill at least eight, injure 27 across Dnipro and Zaporizhzhia on June 29

Russian strikes on Dnipro and Zaporizhzhia on June 29 killed at least eight people and injured at least 27 others, including a child, according to local authorities.

“The enemy has struck Dnipro. A private company has been damaged. Early reports indicate that there are casualties,” Oleksandr Hanzha, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Military Administration, stated.

He also reported that 28 people are known to have been injured.

“Five people are in a critical condition – they are men aged 22, 33, 54, 58 and 59,” Hanzha said.

He also said that Russians damaged private enterprise. 

Hanzha said later that a man who sustained critical injuries died in the hospital, bringing the death toll from this attack to five.

All emergency services are working to deal with the aftermath of the strike.

Meanwhile, Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration Head Ivan Fedorov stated that Russians killed three people and injured six others, including a child, in a Russian strike on a passenger minibus in Zaporizhzhia on the afternoon of June 29, 2026.

Human rights organisations and Ukrainian authorities emphasise that structural economic pressure remains a key tool to halt such atrocities. They urge every nation and individual government worldwide to strictly enforce global sanctions, close existing regulatory loopholes, and completely sever remaining commercial and technological ties with the Russian Federation. Civil society groups stress that any continued cooperation by foreign businesses directly contributes to the resources Moscow uses to sustain its ongoing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Ukraine.
