According to Silenkov: "Orcs [Russian occupying forces] shelled Vysokopillya village using ‘Grad’ multiple rocket launchers at 4 pm today. The kindergarten was hit directly, the gas network had been out of order. The power is out. Residential buildings are damaged. This is the only community in the region that openly resisted the invaders."

In addition, the former politician says that Russian troops are launching offensives from two directions– from Novovorontsovka in the east and from Velyka Oleksandrivka in the southwest.

The village sits near the administrative border of the Kherson and Dnipropetrovsk regions. Kryvyi Rih thermal power plant facilities are located near the village.

Background: The Russian Federation is concentrating forces to attack Kryvyi Rih, according to the operative data of the General Staff of Ukrainian Armed Forces.
