Quote: "Our defenders from Air Command Skhid (East) destroyed two drones over the Oblast. Those were Iranian-made Shaheds."

The occupiers fired more than 60 rockets from Grad multiple-launch rocket systems and heavy artillery into Nikopol Oblast.

Towns and villages were shelled in three hromadas [an administrative unit designating a town, village or several villages and their adjacent territories - ed] - Chernohryhorivka, Myrivka and Marhanets.

There were no casualties. There was a lot of destruction everywhere."

Details: Reznichenko specified that 11 private houses, 6 outbuildings, cars, a gas pipeline and a power line were hit in the Chernohryhorivka hromada.

The water supply pumping station was cut off as a result of the attack. Several villages have no water.

"Emergency teams are already working at the scene," the head of the Oblast Military Administration stated.

In Marhanets, Russian shells hit more than 20 private houses and farm buildings, a children's and youth sports school, a lyceum [specialised secondary school], an art school and an administrative building.

Several power lines were also damaged. A fire broke out in a private neighbourhood, which was extinguished by firefighters.
