Lysak added that power engineers are repairing the equipment damaged by the Russians to restore power to infrastructure and homes as soon as possible.
The Russians also targeted the Nikopol district, using heavy artillery to hit the Marhanets hromada [a hromada is an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town, and their adjacent territories]. Lysak reported no injuries or fatalities.
