Russian forces used artillery, multiple rocket launchers, and kamikaze drones to target the region. Nikopol, the administrative center of the district, suffered the worst. Two people, a 62-year-old man and a 65-year-old woman, were killed inside the city. Among the injured are two girls, aged 15 and 16, as well as two men, aged 39 and 67. The two girls are reportedly in moderate condition. Lysak initially reported that only two people had been injured. The south-eastern city of Nikopol is situated on the banks of the mostly dried-up Kakhovka Reservoir, just across from Russian-occupied Enerhodar and the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, making it a regular target of Russian attacks.Eight high-rise residential buildings and 25 private homes were damaged in the district.
