Food warehouses caught fire in the Dnipropetrovsk region due to Russian strikes

Since this evening, Russian forces have attacked the Dnipropetrovsk region more than 10 times with drones and artillery. Four districts in the region came under fire, including Kryvyi Rih, the Nikopol district, the Pavlohrad district, and the Synelnykiv district. In Kryvyi Rih, the shelling caused fires at food warehouses, and a shopping center was damaged in the Nikopol district.

 

Oleksandr Hanzha, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration, reported on the consequences of the Russian attacks. According to him, Russian troops have attacked the region more than 10 times since this evening. They used drones and artillery in the strikes. One of the strikes hit Kryvyi Rih, where food warehouses caught fire due to the Russian shelling.

Rescue workers were on the scene. They extinguished the fire and inspected the area after the attack. Authorities are still assessing the extent of the damage to the warehouses and other consequences of the strike.

What Happened in the Nikopol Region

The Nikopol region also came under Russian fire. Russian troops attacked Nikopol, as well as the communities of Pokrovsk, Chervonohryhorivka, and Marganetsk. One of the strikes caused a fire. A shopping center was also damaged.

The Nikopol region regularly suffers from Russian attacks. Due to its proximity to the occupied territory and the Dnipro River, Russian troops frequently use drones and artillery here. This time, several settlements and communities were hit simultaneously.

A house was damaged in the Pavlohrad district

Another Russian strike was recorded in the Pavlohrad district. There, Russian troops attacked the Bohdanivska community. A private home was damaged as a result of the shelling.

The report from regional authorities makes no mention of any fatalities or injuries in this area. Experts continue to assess the consequences of the attack and verify details about the damage.

The Synelnykivsky District Was Also Hit

Russian forces also struck the Mezhivska community in the Synelnykivskyi district. In this case, details regarding the consequences of the attack have not yet been reported.

Thus, in a single evening, Russian forces attacked several districts of the Dnipropetrovsk region at once. Civilian facilities and populated areas were the primary targets.

Russia continues to attack the region

The Dnipropetrovsk region is regularly subjected to attacks by Russian forces. The Russians use strike drones, artillery, and other types of weaponry in their attacks. Communities located closer to the front line are most often targeted. The situation remains particularly dire in the Nikopol district, which Russian troops are shelling from the opposite bank of the Dnipro River.

At the same time, strikes on the region can also reach major cities. Russian drones regularly attack industrial facilities, warehouses, commercial buildings, private homes, and other civilian infrastructure. This time, according to regional authorities, Russian forces attacked four districts of the Dnipropetrovsk region more than 10 times. In Kryvyi Rih, food warehouses were on fire; in the Nikopol district, a shopping center was damaged; and in the Bohdanivska community, a private home was damaged. Information regarding the consequences of the strikes may be updated. Oleksandr Hanzha, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration, reported this on Telegram.

Russian forces attacked a monastery in the village of Chervonyi Mayak, in the Novorayska community of the Kherson region, using a drone. A 71-year-old clergyman was killed in the strike, and four other priests were wounded.
