Russian forces launched a large-scale attack across three districts of the Dnipropetrovsk region—Nikopol, Synelnykove, and the city of Kryvyi Rih. According to Oleksandr Ganzha, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration, a total of 48 shelling incidents were recorded, resulting in two fatalities and 11 injuries. The enemy employed artillery and kamikaze drones in these strikes.
Civilian Infrastructure Hit
In Kryvyi Rih, a strike on civilian infrastructure killed one person and wounded six residents. Four of the injured were hospitalized in moderate condition, while two others will receive outpatient care. The attacks also damaged various infrastructure facilities in the city.
The Nikopol district bore the brunt of the aggression, with shelling targeting the following communities:

In the Nikopol district, five people were wounded, including an 82-year-old woman who remains in the hospital in serious condition. Also hospitalized were a 20-year-old man and a 44-year-old man, along with a 78-year-old woman in moderate condition. A 66-year-old man is recovering at home.

Across the Nikopol and Synelnykove districts, as well as Kryvyi Rih, a total of eight civilians sustained injuries. The highest number of casualties occurred in the Marhanets community, where an FPV drone struck near a civilian vehicle, wounding a 24-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman.
Oleksandr Ganzha noted that 'the Russians also aimed at the Raivka community in the Synelnykove area,' confirming the dire situation in the region.
