Rocket Strikes Hit Samara in Dnipropetrovsk Region
On June 27, 2025, at 11:00 AM, the city of Samara, formerly known as Novomoskovsk, in the Dnipropetrovsk region was struck by Russian forces using ballistic missiles. The attack was confirmed by the head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration, Serhiy Lysak, who reported explosions in the city, urging residents to stay in safe locations until the all-clear is given, reports 24brussels.
“Explosions were heard in Samara. Details will follow. Do not leave safe places. Wait for the air raid alert to be lifted,” Lysak stated.
Subsequent explosions echoed in the city, as alerts about potential ballistic threats from the southeast were issued just minutes before the strikes. Monitoring sources indicated that at least three ballistic missiles targeted the same sector.
This latest attack represents a continued escalation in hostilities in the region, with concerns mounting over the implications for civilian safety and the broader conflict. As the situation develops, responses from local authorities and international observers are expected to shape the narrative surrounding the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
