Russian shelling of Nikopol in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast killed 2 civilians and injured 1 more, Governor Serhii Lysak reported on June 26.

“In the afternoon, Russians hit Nikopol with heavy artillery, targeting a private company. Two of its employees were killed – a 51-year-old woman and a 50-year-old man”, - Lysak wrote on Telegram.

Another man, aged 49, received injuries and has been hospitalized, the governor added. According to Lysak, the targeted building was also damaged: “Again, peaceful residents became victims of Russian aggression. They were simply at work, and we lost them to the inhumanity of the country with which we have the misfortune to share a border”.

Nikopol lies close to Russian positions across the dried-up Kakhovka Reservoir, as well as to the occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, and experiences regular artillery shelling by Russian forces.
