Escalating Violence in Ukraine: Latest Updates on Russian Strikes and Ukrainian Counteroffensive

Two missile attacks in the Dnipro area of Ukraine, including one that killed a young child, have reminded residents that there is no escaping Russia's war. The attacks, which injured 22 people, were the latest in a series of strikes on the city, which is about 80 miles from the southern front in Zaporizhzhia and roughly twice that distance from the eastern front in the Donbas region. Despite the ongoing conflict, residents are trying to maintain a semblance of normalcy, with outdoor cafes and children's festivals providing a welcome relief from the burdens of war.
