Dnipro journalist’s apartment suffers 4th russian attack

On the morning of June 7, the city of Dnipro once again came under massive enemy fire. As a result of a kamikaze drone hitting a few meters from a high-rise building, the apartment of journalist Daryna Sukhonis, from the media holding Our City [Nashe Misto], was damaged.

This is the fourth case when enemy attacks have destroyed a colleague’s home. At that time, the Ukrainian Union of Journalists, through the Journalists’ Solidarity Center (JSC), provided assistance to Daryna and other journalists whose homes were damaged by russian shelling.
