Among the damaged sites were residential buildings, a school, a veterinary clinic, and civilian vehicles.<\/p>\n   <p>A nine-story apartment building in the Darnytskyi district on the left bank of the Dnipro River was struck, causing the central section to collapse and trapping residents under the rubble. Rescue operations are ongoing as emergency workers continue searching for victims.<\/p>\n   <p>At least one person has been confirmed dead and dozens injured, with the number of casualties expected to rise.<\/p>\n   <p>Mathernov\u00e1 noted that the overnight strike followed another massive daytime assault, during which Russia launched more than 750 drones. In total, over a 24-hour period, Moscow deployed around 1,429 attack drones and 56 missiles against Ukraine \u2014 making it the largest wave of attacks since the beginning of the war.<\/p>\n   <p>The EU ambassador stressed that such large-scale strikes on civilian infrastructure indicate further escalation by Russia and demonstrate a lack of genuine willingness to end the war.<\/p>\n    <blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;Russia escalates.
