'Russia's True Attitude' — Iskander Missile Strike Damages UN Humanitarian Warehouse in Dnipro
The agency said the warehouse held $1.4 million in food aid for 130,000 people and marked another attack on humanitarian infrastructure.
- A Russian Iskander ballistic missile destroyed a United Nations World Food Programme warehouse in Dnipro on May 25, eliminating food supplies valued at $1.4 million intended for 130,000 people near the front line.
- Russia's targeting of clearly identified UN aid infrastructure has intensified in recent weeks, with humanitarian organizations regularly facing attacks on warehouses and transport assets across Ukraine since the full-scale invasion began in its fifth year.
- Nine UN humanitarian staff, including the head of the humanitarian office, were inside the marked facility when struck. WFP Representative Richard Ragan stated: 'Targeting humanitarians trying to save innocent civilians affected by war is a crime and a violation of international humanitarian law.'
- WFP chief Cindy McCain called the attack 'absolutely unacceptable' on Tuesday, while Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha demanded UN Secretary-General António Guterres use all available authority to pressure Russia to cease attacks on aid operations.
- Civilian casualties in Ukraine surged 93 per cent in early 2026 compared to 2024, with 815 killed and 4,174 injured through April, as WFP teams continue assisting nearly 600,000 people monthly despite at least 62 recorded incidents targeting humanitarian infrastructure.
