On the morning of 4 October 2026 an explosion was reported in central Dnipro, and the premises of a communications company were under attack, Babel reported from the regional administration. UA.NEWS reported that Russian forces struck downtown Dnipro that morning and hit a telecommunications company's premises. President Zelenskyy later said the same morning, in a post relayed by an X account, that the Russians struck a communications facility in Dnipro and that six people were injured as a result of these attacks; that same statement also covers a drone strike on a bridge in Kyiv and drones on a pharmaceutical warehouse in Sumy, where one person was killed, and gives no breakdown of the injured by site. Neither earlier account named the weapon, the street or a casualty figure for this site, and Zelenskyy did not name the company.

Why it matters

A communications site in central Dnipro was hit on the morning of a nationwide overnight attack; the injury figure in the president's statement is not broken down by site.

Verification: Probable

Evidence: Russia attacked Ukraine at night with 135 drones and Banderols, Overnight, the Russians attacked Ukraine with 135 drones; five locations were hit, This morning, the Russians once again struck the Pivnichnyi Bridge in Kyiv with a drone ... In Dnipro, they struck a communications facility. Six people were injured as a result of these attacks.

Babel and UA.NEWS both describe a morning strike on communications premises in central Dnipro. The weapon was not named, so this is not filed as a drone impact. The point is the city centre; no street was published. The six-injured figure comes from President Zelenskyy's own statement as relayed by a third X account: that statement also reports strikes in Kyiv and Sumy and gives no breakdown of the injured by site, so no injury count is attributed to this location here.
