Ukraine: Authorities continuing to respond to earlier military strikes in Dnipro July 3
Emergency response ongoing to earlier military strikes throughout Dnipro, Ukraine, July 3. Heightened security likely.
Authorities are continuing to respond to several Russian military strikes that targeted Dnipro earlier in the day July 3. Authorities report that the strikes resulted in damage to three hospitals and one shopping mall in the city; however, they did not release specific details on the locations of the strikes. As of the afternoon, at least five individuals had died, and 47 were wounded as a result of the strikes.
Authorities will likely maintain heightened security measures near affected areas over the coming hours. Localized ground transport and business disruptions are probable. Medical service disruptions are likely as local medical facilities work to treat casualties and damage to hospitals may reduce operational capacity. Utility outages are also likely in the aftermath of the strikes. Further explosions may occur across the city.
Avoid areas affected by military strikes until authorities give the all-clear. Shelter in place if there are strikes in your area. Stay away from windows and exterior walls if officials report incoming projectile fire. Reconfirm planned medical appointments. Follow the instructions of local security personnel, especially when instructed to seek refuge in air-raid shelters. Maintain contact with diplomatic representations. Do not approach suspected unexploded ordnance.
