Russian forces attacked Dnipro again at dawn on 20 October 2026, damaging private houses in a suburb of the city, including roofs, windows and fences, the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration said, adding that there were preliminarily no dead or injured. Suspilne correspondents at the scene reported that at least ten houses were damaged; residents said a Russian guided aerial bomb landed next to the homes at about 05:00 local time, leaving a crater about two metres deep, and one resident said flying glass cut his arm. In its morning summary the administration said Russian forces had attacked four districts of the region more than ten times with drones and a guided aerial bomb. The suburb was not named. No Russian Defence Ministry statement on the incident was read.
