Ukrainian President Zelensky said the attack damaged multiple stories of a residential building and a train station in the regional capital, Dnipro, as he called for additional air defences.
Dnipro's governor said air defences shot down 11 out of 16 missiles and nine out of 10 drones that attacked the region on a Ukrainian TV broadcast.
State-run Ukrainian railway company Ukrzaliznytsia said Russia targeted its infrastructure in this attack, injuring its workers. The company closed its station in Dnipro and rerouted trains set to pass through the city.
Russia denies targeting civilians, saying its air strikes are aimed at Ukraine's "demilitarization."
Ukraine's air force said it shot down 15 missiles, including two Kh-22 cruise missiles, and 14 drones during the attack on the country on Friday.
