Russian forces, which invaded Ukraine early in 2022, are vying to gain a foothold in Dnipropetrovsk for the first time in the war.
"In total, Russians killed five people... there are 23 people injured," regional governor Sergiy Lysak said after the attack on the town of Samar, outside the region's main city Dnipro.
Russian forces earlier this week struck both Dnipro and Samar with missiles, leaving at least 23 dead.
Ukrainian military officials have said that previous Russian strikes near Samar hit Ukrainian military training facilities.
Moscow earlier this week claimed to have captured two more villages near the border of the Dnipropetrovsk region.
Separately, authorities in the northern region of Kharkiv said Russian attacks killed one person and wounded three others, without specifying where the attack had taken place.

BJP MP Nishikant Dubey slams Congress, alleges Sonia Gandhi's influence in decision making during Manmohan Singh government
New Delhi [India], June 28 (ANI): BJP MP Nishikant Dubey launched a scathing attack on the Congress on Saturday, terming them the 'assassins' of the Constitution. Taking to his official 'X' handle, the BJP MP shared a glimpse of a statement from Russian president Vladimir Putin following his meeting with former Congress president Sonia Gandhi in 2005. Nishikant Dubey alleged that Sonia Gandhi was taking decisions on behalf of the nation, despite Manmohan Singh being the Prime Minister of India. 'Congress, the assassin of the Constitution. Manmohan Singh ji was the Prime Minister of the country, but who was making the country's decisions, Sonia Gandhi ji? This statement is from the meeting of Sonia Gandhi ji with Russia's President Putin. The agreement was on defense, which Constitution gave Sonia ji this authority?', Nishikant Dubey's 'X' post said. Furthermore, the BJP MP stated that Sonia Gandhi mentioned the 12 Indian school children whom Pakistani terrorists kidnapped during her conversation with President Putin. Nishikant Dubey asked what steps the then Indian government took in reply to these attacks, and how many terrorist hideouts were destroyed. He stated that contrary to this attack, 1000 Pakistani terrorists were released from the jails. 'In this 2005 statement, Sonia ji is talking about the killing of our 12 school children by Pakistan's terrorists, did we destroy even a single terrorist hideout in Pakistan? On the contrary, over 1000 terrorists were released from Kashmir's jails? If only Rahul Gandhi ji would explain the Constitution crafted by the Gandhi family?', the 'X' post added. On June 27, Nishikant Dubey shared a letter by former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi to the then-US President Ronald Reagan to attack the Congress party, alleging Gandhi's role in atrocities against Sri Lankan Tamils. Sharing the letter dated February 8, 1988, on X, Dubey wrote, 'Is Rajiv Gandhi ji responsible for the Tamil genocide in Sri Lanka? The Nehru-Gandhi family, that is, slaves of America/Russia.' The BJP MP alleged that the letter describes how India and Sri Lanka committed atrocities against Tamils and questioned why India, being a sovereign nation, shared details with the US. (ANI)

‘Very Nice': Trump After Putin Compliments Him For Progress In US-Russia Ties
Last Updated: Donald Trump welcomed President Vladimir Putin's positive remarks on stabilizing Russia-US relations. Despite past tensions over Ukraine, both leaders are open to improving ties. US President Donald Trump welcomed Russian President Vladimir Putin's remarks, describing them as 'very nice". Putin has indicated a positive shift in Russia-US relations, stating that ties between the two global powers are starting to stabilise in certain areas. He attributed this development to the efforts of Trump. Putin expressed his admiration for Trump, saying he holds 'great respect" for the US leader and is open to a potential meeting. Putin emphasised that such a meeting would require careful preparation but considered it 'quite possible". Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin have had a tumultuous relationship, especially regarding Moscow's continued involvement in the Ukraine war, which Trump has repeatedly urged Putin to end. Moscow had refused to end the war in Ukraine, despite Trump's repeated appeals. At one point, the US President even called the Russian leader 'absolutely CRAZY." Nevertheless, both the White House and the Kremlin have often vouched for stabilising their relations. 'In general, thanks to President Trump, relations between Russia and the United States are beginning to level out in some ways. Not everything has been decided in the sphere of diplomatic relations, but the first steps have been taken, and we are moving forward," the Russian President told a press conference in Minsk on Friday. Putin's remarks came after Trump, speaking at the NATO summit in The Hague, described the Russian president as 'misguided" and admitted that solving the Ukraine crisis has proven harder than he initially believed. Two weeks earlier, the two leaders also held a lengthy phone conversation to discuss the boiling Middle East amid the Israel-Iran conflict, as well as Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine.
