Quote from Reznichenko: "A night of intense attacks.

The Russian army struck the Nikopol district seven times and [struck] the Kryvyi Rih three times.

Three hromadas came under [Russian] fire in the Nikopol district. There are no casualties or fatalities."

Details: Seven heavy artillery shells struck the town of Nikopol. Around a dozen private houses, an educational centre and several power lines were damaged, leaving around 5,000 households without power. Power has been restored in some of those households. Emergency brigades are continuing to work [to restore power].

The Russians used Grad MLRS and heavy artillery to launch over 20 rockets and shells on the Marhanets and Chervonohryhorivka hromadas, damaging residential buildings.

The Russians used Uragan (Tornado) MLRS and tubed artillery to fire on the Kryvyi Rih district. They targeted a residential area where many people had their dachas [dacha is a sort of a summer house, usually with a little plot of land where people grow vegetables, fruit trees and berries, or keep a garden - ed.] and an energy business in the Zelenodolsk hromada. Though several buildings were damaged, there were no casualties.
