Dashcam footage shows the moment a shell exploded near traffic in Dnipro, Ukraine, on Monday, sending debris flying over cars and smoke pluming over the horizon. The explosion was one of several that have rocked Ukrainian cities over the last 48 hours.
Ukraine's infrastructure — the only target of the strikes, according to Russia — has indeed taken a pounding. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has asked businesses to close after 6 p.m. and residents to limit appliance use during peak hours in a bid to conserve electricity.
But while President Vladimir Putin may have proven Russia's ability to reach right across Ukraine, to recklessly rain missiles down on civilian neighborhoods, his soldiers are taking a beating on the battlefield. The villages there were among the first to fall to Russia and they remained under its iron grip for seven months, until they were liberated only about a week ago.
At a high school that was used for months as a military headquarters by the occupying Russian soldiers, the building itself tells the story of the brutal battle that brought the village back under Ukrainian control. Huge chunks of concrete are missing from the walls, every window is smashed, the buildings are scorched and the grounds are littered with the burnt-out carcasses of armored personnel carriers bearing the white"Z" of the Russian army.
