According to Главком: On March 30, Russian occupation forces launched an assault on the city of Nikopol using attack drones.

According to Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Military Administration Head Oleksandr Ganzha, the attack resulted in eight casualties-four men and four women. The victims sustained injuries from mine explosions, shrapnel wounds, and broken limbs. Nikopol, situated across the Dnipro River from the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, has frequently been in the line of fire.

In the early hours of March 30, Russian forces also attacked Ukraine with an Iskander-M ballistic missile and 164 attack drones. A ballistic missile impact and 12 attack UAV hits were recorded at seven locations, with debris from downed drones falling at two of these sites. During the previous day, Russian troops shelled 25 settlements in the Sumy region.
