"A massive UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) attack led to tragic consequences. Three people died in Dnipro, including a child," Dnipropetrovsk regional governor Sergiy Lysak posted on Telegram.
A young girl and an elderly woman were among the dead, he said.
"Thirty were injured, five of them children," he added, saying 16 patients remained under medical supervision, with one person in a serious condition.
He said earlier that a nine-month-old girl was among the wounded.
Around a dozen apartment blocks were damaged, he added.
The State Emergency Service of Ukraine posted on Telegram that several fires broke out in the eastern city due to the drone attack, all of which had been extinguished.
