DNIPRO, Ukraine — Russian forces fired several rockets at one of the most populous cities in Ukraine on Friday evening and killed at least three people in Dnipro, according to officials, as Russia continued a campaign of attacks against large population centers.
The sound of explosions reverberated through Dnipro, in central Ukraine, at about 9 p.m., just as the sun was setting and residents were gathering for dinner and drinks ahead of the evening curfew. Black smoke quickly enveloped large swaths of the city, and rescue workers raced to put out myriad fires sparked by the attack.
