The Nikopol district (Dnipropetrovsk Oblast) came under Russian fire on the night of 12-13 November; two women sustained injuries. Source: Valentyn Reznichenko, Head of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Military Administration, on Telegram Quote from Reznichenko: "The Russians deployed Grad [multiple-launch rocket systems] and heavy artillery to fire on Nikopol and Marhanets hromadas [administrative units designating the cities of Nikopol and Marhanets, respectively, and their adjacent territories - ed.].

Nikopol sustained the most damage. Nearly 40 deathly shells and rockets hit the city overnight.

Two women, aged 46 and 82, sustained injuries. Both have been hospitalised at a local hospital.

Both are in moderate condition." Details: More than 40 apartment blocks and private houses, around two dozen outbuildings, and several gas pipelines and power lines were damaged in Nikopol as a result of last night's attacks. Russian shells destroyed one residential building and caused two fires, in an apartment and in the yard of a private house.

Firefighters have since extinguished the flames.
