Volodymyr Orlov, First Deputy Head of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Military Administration, reported this during his briefing at Media Center Ukraine.

In addition, the foe keeps destroying hospitals, schools, kindergartens, and businesses.

They keep shelling us almost permanently at night; every day, they target the cities of Nikopol Raion with missiles and multiple rocket launchers.
