Quote: "The enemy fired on the Nikopol and Kryvyi Rih districts. Russian troops targeted the Nikopol district four times; they fired on four hromadas [amalgamated territorial communities, administrative units designating a village, several villages, or a town, and their adjacent territories - ed.]. The Russians used Grads [multiple-launch rocket systems, MLRS - ed.] to fire on [the city of] Nikopol and the Chervonohryhorivka hromada.

The enemy targeted the centre of [the village of] Chervonohryhorivka. Early reports indicate one civilian sustained injuries, a 70-year-old man. He has been hospitalised in a critical condition."

Details: Reznichenko added that 12 residential buildings, a high school and the village council building have been damaged in Chervonohryhorivka. Russian shells also damaged a power line.

The city of Nikopol sustained no damage and no civilians were injured there, either.

Russian forces used heavy artillery to fire on the Myr and Marhanets hromadas, damaging property but sparing civilians.

A damaged power line in the Marhanets hromada left 3,000 households without power. Reznichenko noted that electricians have already been able to restore power supply to half of those households; work continues to restore power to the rest.

In the Kryvyi Rih district, Russian forces once again targeted the Zelenodolsk hromada, damaging outbuildings but sparing civilians.
