A Russian drone attacked a civilian vehicle in Nikopol

In the city of Nikopol, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, one person was killed and another woman was critically injured as a result of a targeted attack by a Russian FPV drone. 

The tragic incident was officially reported by Oleksandr Hanzha, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration. 

The enemy drone struck a civilian vehicle directly, causing extensive damage to the vehicle.

According to him, the occupiers continue to systematically use kamikaze drones to terrorize the civilian population in frontline territories.

“One person was killed. Another was injured,” the head of the Regional Military Administration wrote in his statement. Currently, rescue services and law enforcement agencies are working at the site of the strike, documenting yet another war crime committed by the Russian army.

Medical personnel assess the condition of the 60-year-old injured woman as extremely critical. The woman was promptly hospitalized at one of the region’s hospitals, where doctors are fighting to save her life, providing all necessary emergency care.

This attack was part of a large-scale shelling of communities in the Dnipropetrovsk region that has been ongoing for the past 24 hours. 

In total, over 50 strikes on the region have been recorded recently, resulting in the deaths of five people and injuries to another 27 civilians.

The Nikopol district remains one of the hottest spots due to its constant proximity to enemy positions on the opposite bank of the Dnipro River. 

The occupiers are using artillery and drones, deliberately targeting residential neighborhoods and private vehicles.

As a reminder, Russian drones have again attacked Naftogaz facilities in the Poltava region.

Naftogaz presented the EU with a project to rebuild the Druzhba oil pipeline following the Russian attack.

As a reminder, the Cabinet of Ministers appointed a new composition of the supervisory board of NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine upon the recommendation of the nomination committee.

In addition, the Naftogaz Group has finally won a lawsuit against Russia’s Gazprom for more than $1.4 billion.
