On Oct. 19, Russian drone and artillery fire hit three districts of Dnipropetrovsk more than 20 times. Kryvyi Rih suffered the worst toll: two dead and eight hurt. Among the wounded were a 43-year-old woman and two men, 39 and 37, in serious condition; a 15-year-old boy and a 37-year-old man had moderate injuries; three men, 18, 46 and 36, were treated as outpatients.
