Dnipro Mayor Boris Filatov confirmed the strike, reporting shattered ceilings, up to 20 broken windows, and infrastructure impacts across the city.
- Local municipal authorities have initiated immediate debris removal, clearing approximately 5 metric tons of glass and rubble to secure surrounding zones.
- City administration leadership has committed to identifying alternative training venues to ensure minimal disruption for athletes.
Infrastructure Impact and Municipal Response
The assault targeted multiple sectors within the Dnipropetrovsk region, executing nearly 20 attacks during the afternoon. Beyond the combat sports facility, the building of one of the colleges was damaged, and residential windows sustained shattering.
Emergency municipal maintenance crews were deployed to the affected zones. Working through the aftermath, city cleanup teams removed approximately 5 metric tons of debris and shattered glass to restore basic safety parameters around the damaged educational and athletic sites.
Continuity of Training and Facility Relocation
