Quote from Reznichenko: "It was a difficult night in the Nikopol district.
More than once, Russian troops used Grad MLRS to cover [the district] with fire. At least 80 rockets were launched on [the city of] Nikopol and the Chervonohryhorivka hromada overnight.
In Nikopol, one private house was destroyed, 15 private houses and a similar number of farm buildings were damaged. The power grid is out. Up to 1,000 people were left without electricity. Electricians are working on the scene."
Details: Additionally, two local businesses have been damaged. One of them caught fire. It took rescue workers several hours to extinguish the flames.
According to preliminary data, there are no casualties.
