June 3 (Reuters) - A 2-year-old girl was killed and 22 people injured, including five children, when a Russian missile struck near the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro, the regional governor said on Sunday.
"Overnight, the body of a girl who had just turned two was pulled from under the rubble of a house," Serhiy Lysak wrote on the Telegram messaging channel.
Seventeen people were being treated in hospital after the attack on a residential area by Iskander short-range cruise missiles, Lysak said.
Following the attack in Dnipro, Russia launched a new wave of overnight air strikes on the country.
Ukraine's air force said on Sunday it destroyed more than half of the air targets.
