Russian forces strike two Dnipropetrovsk districts overnight, one person injured

Russian forces attacked the Nikopol and Synelnykove districts of Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region more than 20 times overnight, starting from the evening of September 26, according to Ukrinform.

One person was injured in the attacks, though further details on the extent of the injury and the type of weapons used in the strikes were not specified in the available report.

Recurring target near the front

The Dnipropetrovsk region, located in central-eastern Ukraine, has faced repeated Russian strikes as the front line has shifted closer to the region in parts of the ongoing war, with the Nikopol district in particular frequently reported as a target due to its proximity to Russian-controlled territory across the Dnipro River.

Ukrainian regional officials typically report on damage to residential buildings, infrastructure, and agricultural land following such attacks, though specific damage assessments for this incident were not included in the available information.

Local authorities in Dnipropetrovsk region continue to urge residents in frequently targeted districts to observe air raid warnings and take shelter during attacks to reduce the risk of casualties.

Russia has not issued public comment on the reported strikes on Nikopol and Synelnykove.
