Russian shelling injures three in Ukraine's Nikopol district

Three people were injured after Russian forces shelled the Nikopol district of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast in southern Ukraine on September 26, according to Ukrainian regional officials.

The Nikopol district, located across the Dnipro river from the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia region, has been a frequent target of Russian shelling throughout the war, with the area's proximity to the front line exposing residents to regular artillery and drone strikes.

Ukrainian authorities did not immediately provide further details on the extent of the injuries or the condition of those hurt in the attack, nor did they specify what infrastructure or residential areas may have sustained damage.

Officials in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast have repeatedly reported civilian casualties from Russian shelling in Nikopol and surrounding communities in recent months, as the district remains within range of Russian artillery positioned on the opposite bank of the Dnipro river.

Ukrainian regional and military officials continue to document such incidents as part of ongoing reporting on the humanitarian and civilian impact of the conflict in front-line areas of the country.
