Ten shells fired from Russian tubed artillery hit [the town of] Nikopol. Nine private houses, solar panels and power lines have been damaged. Up to 300 people lost power."

Russian forces used tubed artillery and Grad multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS) to attack the Marhanets hromada (amalgamated territorial community). There were no casualties or structural damage.

The Russians used Uragan MLRS to fire on the Kryvyi Rih district, damaging several houses and a gas pipeline in the Apostolove hromada, but sparing the local residents.
