Spotlight: Russian missiles kill 23, injure hundreds, and hit a passenger train in Dnipro city
On 24 June, Russian forces launched four Iskander ballistic missiles at the city of Dnipro, causing extensive damage to civilian infrastructure and killing at least 23 civilians. One of the missiles struck near a stationary passenger train waiting to enter the city’s main railway station. Passengers were injured, though all survived.
The strike follows Russia’s pattern of targeting trains and train stations in towns serving as railway hubs that are crucial for Ukraine in transporting military gear and troops as well as passenger trains in frontline regions. The deadliest Russian strikes occurred on 8 April 2022 at a train station packed with evacuating civilians in Kramatorsk where 61 civilians were killed, at a train stop in Chaplyne on 24 August 2024 where 25 civilians were killed, and at the evacuation train and train station in Kherson city on 3 May 2023 where 24 civilians were killed. In Russia and Russia-occupied regions, Ukrainian forces and associated sabotage groups have also targeted railway infrastructure, including during the recent bombing of a bridge that resulted in the death of seven Russian train passengers and the injury of 127 others.

Ukraine Conflict: Interactive Map
This interactive map includes political violence events in Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion on 24 February 2022.
Date and subset filters
By default, the map displays data for the most recent week. Use the date filters to change the date range in view.
Use the subset filters to analyze trends in more detail.
Changing view
By default, the map is set to event view, which uses scaled circles to show events at a given location. Click on a region in Ukraine to zoom in for a more detailed view. Hovering over a region will give a count of events within its borders.
Changing to region (oblast) view will switch the map to a choropleth, giving an overview of event density per region. This will also disable the zoom function.
Events in Russia
While in event view, use the ‘Events in Russia’ toggle to show or hide conflict-related events in Russia. Conflict-related events are identified as follows:
- All events with the ‘Battles’ or ‘Explosions/remote violence’ event type.
- Events with the ‘Violence against civilians’ event type, where the actor is:
- Ukrainian or Russian military
- Russian border guards
- Pro-Ukrainian Russian militias
Attacks on Ukranian infrastructure
ACLED uses four automatically generated infrastructure tags when coding events that occur in Ukraine, each covering a vital sector that focuses on civilian infrastructure: energy, health, education, and residential infrastructure.

Event counts and civilian fatalities
The box in the bottom right hand corner displays event counts in total, disaggregated by event type, and filtered by date or subset according to the options already selected.
It also shows a conservative estimate of civilian fatalities, limited to events where civilians are targeted directly. Military casualties are not represented on the map as they are largely unverifiable.
For more information on how ACLED codes fatalities, read our methodology explainer.
