 Russian drone strike on Nikopol market kills five, injures 19 in latest Ukraine attack

A Russian drone strike on a busy market in Nikopol, Ukraine, killed five people and left at least 19 others injured on Saturday, local officials reported. The victims included three women and two men, while among the injured was a 14-year-old girl. Nikopol, located in southeastern Ukraine just across the Dnipro River from territory currently occupied by Russia, is frequently targeted due to its proximity to the frontlines.

The Ukrainian prosecutor general’s office condemned the attack as “yet another war crime by Russia.” Overnight, the nearby city of Sumy also came under assault, leaving 11 people wounded and damaging residential buildings and utility networks. In Kyiv, a three-story office building was struck, causing a fire on the first floor. Ukrainian forces reported intercepting 260 of the 286 drone strikes launched at the country during the overnight attacks.
