One Dead, Four Injured in Russian Strike on Nikopol

One person died and four others were injured in a Russian strike on the city of Nikopol, Ukrainian officials reported. The attack on the city, situated in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region, occurred amid a broader wave of Russian assaults targeting the country's energy infrastructure.

Details about the specific targets within Nikopol were not immediately available, but the strike added to the ongoing toll of civilian casualties in Ukraine. The city is located on the western bank of the Dnipro River, directly across from the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, Europe's largest.

The attack on Nikopol followed a series of Russian drone and missile strikes that hit energy facilities in various parts of Ukraine, causing significant damage and power outages. Ukrainian authorities have consistently condemned such attacks as war crimes, highlighting the devastating impact on civilian life and critical infrastructure.
