Details: Reznichenko has reported that the Russian army attacked four districts in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

Russia’s attack on the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast last night took the lives of 3 people (first, it was reported that 2 people were killed, but later Reznichenko reported that the rescuers took out the body of another person from under the rubble), and 9 were injured, of whom 4 are hospitalised.

The Russians carried out three attacks using Grad multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS) on the Nikopol district, firing a total of 120 rockets.

In addition, over 40 multi-storey apartment buildings have been damaged in Nikopol. Five apartments have been completely destroyed. Rescue workers are clearing away the rubble and searching for people.

Three schools, several stores, garages and cars have also been damaged. A damaged power line has left over 6,000 residents of Nikopol with no power.

Fourteen houses have been destroyed in the Chervonohryhorivka hromada [amalgamated territorial community - ed.] and an outpatient clinic, a shop and a stadium have been damaged there. Up to 1,000 residents have no power.

Russian Uragan MLRS fired on the Zelenodolsk hromada in the Kryvyi Rih district, causing several fires which have subsequently been extinguished by firefighters. There were no casualties.

The Russians also struck the Velykomykhailivka hromada in the Synelnykove district, damaging a mill, several houses and injuring a married couple. The woman has been hospitalised.

A rocket struck the Dnipro district, but the extent of destruction there has not yet been confirmed.
