Quote from Reznichenko: "Another night under Russian fire…The enemy targeted the Nikopol district. Russian occupying forces used Grad [multiple-launch rocket systems] and heavy artillery to fire on it four times over the course of the night. The city of Nikopol itself was hit twice."

Details: A 57-year-old woman sustained injuries as a result of the Russian attacks. She has been hospitalised, and doctors say she is in a moderate condition.

Russian attacks also damaged 12 multi-storey apartment buildings, several shops and pharmacies, a college, a sports centre for children and young adults and a community and sports centre in the city of Nikopol.

There were no casualties in Myr hromada (administrative units designating a town, village or several villages and their adjacent territories) [which was also attacked by the Russians - ed.]. As of now, other districts of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast remain relatively calm.
