Kiev
At least 15 people were killed and more than 170 injured in Russian missile strikes on Dnipro on Tuesday, authorities said, marking one of the deadliest attacks on the south-eastern Ukrainian city in recent months.
A further two people died in a nearby city, as Moscow's relentless aerial campaign hit multiple regions of Ukraine.
One of the missiles struck near a passenger train waiting at the Dnipro station, according to Serhiy Lysyak, the military governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region.
Lysyak said several of the wounded were in serious condition.
The Ukrainian railway company confirmed that the Odessa-Zaporizhzhya train was damaged, but passengers were safely evacuated and a replacement service was arranged.
Social media images showed train carriages with shattered windows in an industrial area believed to be the intended target. Authorities reported that more than a dozen schools and kindergartens were also damaged in Dnipro, as well as a hospital and clinic.
In the nearby city of Samar, two people were killed and around a dozen injured in related missile strikes.
Earlier in the day, separate Russian drone and artillery attacks left a trail of destruction across Ukraine's north and south.
In the Sumy region, three people - including an 8-year-old child - were killed in a drone strike on a village, according to local media.
The Kyiv Independent reported that three others were injured and hospitalized, one in serious condition.
In Kharkiv, further east, three people were hurt in overnight drone attacks involving at least seven Iranian-made Shahed drones, local authorities told the RBK Ukraine news agency. One drone reportedly fell without exploding.
Meanwhile, in the southern region of Kherson, four people had been killed and five injured due to Russian shelling since Monday, Governor Oleksandr Prokudin said. Another four fatalities were recorded in Ukrainian-held areas of Donetsk.
Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine, now in its fourth year, continues to exact a heavy civilian toll as major cities and front line regions face persistent bombardment.

Orban praises talks as marking ‘safer' world
Budapest: Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has welcomed the outcome of Friday's meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. 'For years, we watched as the two largest nuclear powers dismantled the foundations of their cooperation ... That is now over,' he wrote on his Facebook page. 'The world is a safer place today than it was yesterday. May there never be a worse weekend!' Orbán added in response to the summit, which produced no immediate tangible results. Orbán, who has ruled Hungary in a semi-authoritarian manner for over 15 years, is considered a loyal supporter of Trump and his policies. He also supports aspects of Putin's war against Ukraine by demanding peace through surrender by the country, which borders Hungary to the east. (DPA)
