Details: Vilkul said Russia had been attacking the city with strike drones for over ten hours.

He later reported that the all-clear had been sounded, saying that air defence systems had "performed almost perfectly".

Vilkul also said that Vilnoi Ichkerii Street was expected to be reopened to traffic within one to two hours, as bomb disposal teams and municipal services were working at the scene. Drivers were asked to use a detour for the time being.

However, after only a few minutes of calm, an air-raid warning was issued again. Vilkul reported explosions and a missile attack, while the Air Force warned of a ballistic threat to Kryvyi Rih.

Background: Two people were injured, fires broke out, and homes and vehicles were damaged as a result of Russian strikes on Dnipropetrovsk Oblast on the night of 21-22 January.
