Russian strikes in the Dnipropetrovsk region killed two people and wounded 17 others, including children, local officials reported. The attack hit residential areas, and emergency services were dispatched to the scene. The casualties add to the ongoing toll of the war in Ukraine, now in its third year.
Casualties include children
Among the 17 injured were several children, according to the same officials. The exact ages or conditions of the injured were not immediately disclosed. Rescue workers continued to search through debris for any additional victims. No further details about the strikes or the specific locations within Dnipropetrovsk were released.
Prediction market odds for Donetsk
Separately, a prediction market on the blockchain-based platform Polymarket currently gives a 3.8% probability that Russia will capture all of Donetsk Oblast by December 31, 2026. The market allows users to bet on the outcome of the war, with odds fluctuating based on trader sentiment. The low probability reflects the difficulty of Russia seizing the entire region, though fighting continues in parts of Donetsk. The market's deadline is set for the end of 2026, leaving over two years for the situation to change.
