Details: Reznichenko said that Russian forces struck the Nikopol district with Grad multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS) and tubed artillery.

In particular, the Russians used tubed artillery to shell the city of Nikopol ten times over the course of the day, damaging four privately owned houses and cars. Preliminary reports indicate that there were no casualties.

In addition, the Russians launched up to 40 rockets on the city of Marhanets, injuring three civilians. Two of them – including a 12-year-old boy – have been hospitalised.

Four multi-storey apartment buildings and several privately owned houses were damaged in the attacks on Marhanets. A local factory, a printing press, a shop and a cafe were also damaged.

In the Kryvyi Rih district, the Russians used Uragan MLRS to fire on the Zelenodolsk hromada (amalgamated territorial community), damaging residential buildings but sparing local residents.
