Second Russian strike on Dnipro station kills 15, triggers blackout

A second Russian attack on a railway station in Dnipro, Ukraine, has caused a city-wide blackout, with the death toll from the initial strike rising to 15 after a wounded man died in hospital. The latest strike caused significant damage to the energy system, leading to emergency power outages and halting metro, tram, and trolleybus services. Schools were allowed to start autumn holidays early, and residents were urged to stockpile drinking water as backup generators power critical infrastructure. Ukrainian air defenses shot down 14 Russian drones over the region overnight. The first attack on October 29 killed 14 people when a drone hit the platform, and authorities noted that some people remained on the platform despite an air raid warning.
