Dnipro reels from drone strikes: fires, blackouts, and one death
Russian drone attacks on Dnipro on November 8 caused fires, power outages for over 600,000 consumers, and one death, as the city faces a second blackout in two weeks. A large smoke cloud rose over the city following strikes on a residential area and a transport enterprise. The first attack hit a private sector at 10:26, destroying at least one house and killing one person, with three injured. A second strike at 11:20 targeted a transport company, igniting warehouses and trucks. Air quality remained "good" per IQAir, but officials advised residents near fires to close windows and limit outdoor activity. Power outages affected five districts, with hospitals on generators and over 400 "invincibility points" opened. Pumping stations for the Aulsky water supply were temporarily shut down. Residents report water and electricity available only a few hours daily, with no clear schedule, and electric transport halted.
