In a devastating escalation of hostilities, a Russian missile strike on southeastern Ukraine's Dnipro city killed at least 11 people, according to regional officials. The calamity, occurring Tuesday, also inflicted injuries on 153 individuals, among which were 18 children.

This two-wave attack is a part of a series of intensified strikes by Russia, which has increasingly targeted Ukraine, including its capital, Kyiv. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, attending a NATO summit, called for greater international support to bolster Ukraine's defenses and curb the supply of foreign components aiding Russia's war machinery.

Zelenskiy is expected to voice these concerns in meetings with world leaders, including U.S. President Donald Trump. The persistent attacks have left Ukrainian residents in fear, as they struggle to cope with the physical and emotional wreckage left in their wake.
