Russian attack kills 3, including rescue worker and son, in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast

A Russian strike on a gas station in the town of Shyroke, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, resulted in three fatalities, including an emergency worker and his eight-year-old son, according to reports from the State Emergency Service and regional officials. Six other individuals were injured and have been hospitalized, with one man in serious condition.

The attack, which occurred on August 3, caused a fire that damaged the gas station and nearby vehicles. Governor Oleksandr Hanzha reported a higher number of injured, stating 11 people were hospitalized.

This incident is part of a broader pattern of Russian attacks targeting gas stations in front-line regions of Ukraine, including Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kharkiv Oblasts. These strikes are seen as an effort to degrade Ukrainian logistics. The attacks come after Ukraine's own strikes on Russian refineries have created a fuel crisis within Russia and occupied Ukrainian territories.
