Russia-Ukraine updates: Russian missiles hit close to nuclear reactors: IAEA director

At least three people were killed and another 15 injured in a missile strike on Dnipro Friday, officials said.

There was extensive destruction in the city after the strike, Valentyn Reznichenko, governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region, said on Telegram.

Ukraine's Air Force Command said the attack on Dnipro was launched from the Caspian Sea area by Russian strategic bombers. Four cruise missiles were shot down by Ukrainian air defenses, though several others hit the city, it said.

The Pentagon has no reason to doubt reports that submarine-launched missiles were used in Russia's missile attack on Vinnytsia on Thursday, a senior U.S. military official told reporters.

The attack killed 23 people, including three children.

The Pentagon has no sign of a military target in the area that Russia could have been aiming for, the official said.

"That looked like an apartment building," the official said, adding there's "no indication" of a military target "anywhere near that."

The official estimated, based on open-source reporting, that 100 to 150 civilians have been killed by Russian strikes over the last two weeks.

The grandmother of a 4-year-old girl killed in Thursday’s Russian missile attack in Vinnytsia told ABC News, “They took the most precious [person] I had in my life.”

Four-year-old Liza was among 23 people, including three children, killed in the strike.

Liza’s grandmother, Larysa Dmytryshyna, called her a “wonderfully sunny child.”

"She was the most wonderful girl in the world and it is so painful that her mother cannot even bury her,” she said.

Asked how she feels about Russia, Dmytryshyna, replied, "I hate them all.”

"We did not ask them to come here. They have caused so much sorrow,” she said of the Russians. "I would give my own life to extinguish the entire country.”

One of Ukraine's leading medical experts on developing prosthetic limbs for amputees says there has been a dramatic surge in demand for artificial arms and legs since Russia invaded Ukraine.

Dr. Oleksandr Stetsenko told ABC News that financial support or donations of prosthetic parts are needed from abroad to meet the increased demand.

External support, he said, is vital so that people have the chance to continue with their lives.

"With good prosthetics people can come back to life again," Stetsenko told ABC News.

There is currently no official figure for how many people in Ukraine have undergone surgery to remove limbs because of injuries sustained from the war but Dr. Stetsenko estimates that around 500 people have had limbs amputated since the end of February with the majority of those cases being soldiers and around a fifth being civilians.

While the number of patients in Ukraine needing artificial limbs has increased, the domestic supply of components to make prosthetic arms and legs has reduced.

That is because a third of the companies which were previously producing components in Ukraine are now located in territory which has recently been occupied by Russian forces or in areas near to the frontline, according to the Ukrainian Ministry of Health.

A director at the health ministry, Oleksandra Mashkevych, confirmed that Ukraine is no longer able "to cover all of the demand relating to artificial limbs."

Mashkevych told ABC News that children who need artificial limbs are sent abroad to Europe or to the United States and that around 20 children in Ukraine are thought to have had limbs amputated since the start of the war in February.
