Air defense systems successfully intercepted and downed two missiles over the city, according to the governor. However, the debris from missiles caused damage to civilian infrastructure. Over a dozen vehicles were affected, and the impact shattered windows in several houses.
Emergency crews have been dispatched to the scene. Russian forces also attacked the city of Nikopol with kamikaze drones, Lysak said. No casualties were reported there.
