Shelling in the Dnipropetrovsk region

It is noteworthy that the Dnipropetrovsk region frequently suffers from shelling by Russian invaders. Cities like Dnipro and Nikopol, as well as the Nikopol district (which includes Marhanets), are regularly targeted.

Furthermore, it should be noted that Russian forces attack Nikopol and the surrounding area from the temporarily occupied Enerhodar in the Zaporizhzhia region, where the enemy-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is located.

Previously, it was reported that on February 14, the Russian forces also shelled the Nikopol district. As a result of the shelling, residential infrastructure was damaged.

Before that, on February 9, an accident occurred in the Dnipropetrovsk region due to Russian shelling, leaving people without gas.
