Russian Banderol Drone Strikes Dnipro, 12 Wounded and Fire Erupts

A Russian Banderol drone attack hit the city of Dnipro on September 11, 2026, wounding 12 people and sparking a significant fire. The strike caused damage to a private enterprise, garages, and residential buildings in the affected area.

The Banderol is a type of Russian attack drone that has been used increasingly in strikes against Ukrainian cities. Dnipro — one of Ukraine's largest cities and a major industrial center — has been a frequent target of Russian drone and missile attacks throughout the war. Emergency services responded to extinguish the fire and provide medical assistance to the wounded.

Dnipro Under Continued Attack

Located on the Dnipro river in central Ukraine, the city has experienced hundreds of strikes since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022. The city's location and industrial significance have made it a persistent target. Civilian infrastructure, including residential areas and enterprises, has borne much of the cost of Russia's ongoing strikes.
