Attacks Target Dnipropetrovsk Region
Russian military forces launched a series of attacks on Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region, resulting in civilian casualties and widespread damage. Over the course of a single day, nearly 50 strikes were recorded across the area. These attacks left five people wounded, one of whom is a child. The Dnipropetrovsk region has been a frequent target of Russian shelling and drone attacks since the full-scale invasion began in 2022.
Shelling in Nikopol and Synelnykove Districts
In the Nikopol district, the cities of Nikopol and Marhanets, along with the Chervonohryhorivka and Pokrovska communities, came under fire. The shelling damaged:
- a barbershop
- a store
- a gas station
- vehicles
- apartment buildings and private homes
A 58-year-old man was hospitalized in serious condition. An 11-year-old girl, a 50-year-old woman, and a 45-year-old man are receiving outpatient treatment, according to regional head Oleksandr Ganzha.
In the Synelnykove district, the Pokrovska community was hit, with private homes damaged and a 37-year-old man wounded and hospitalized in serious condition. In the Kryvyi Rih district, Russian forces deliberately targeted the district center, as well as the Hrushivska and Novopilska communities, causing damage to infrastructure.
Furthermore, an attack on an industrial enterprise in the Poltava district damaged technological equipment, cutting off gas supply to 5,040 customers. All emergency services are working to mitigate the consequences of the attack.
