Details: Russian forces targeted the Nikopol district in the evening, at night and in the morning, using Grad MLRS, heavy artillery and kamikaze drones.
"[The city of] Nikopol and Chervonohryhorivka, Myrove, Pokrovske and Marhanets hromadas were affected. Infrastructure suffered damaged. Three businesses, a house, an outbuilding, an unused building and a power line were damaged. Two fires broke out, dry grass was burning," Lysak said.
