Russia has launched at least 31 long-range drones against several regions of Ukraine this Thursday and one of its continuous attacks against the front regions has left six civilians injured in Nikopol.
An attack with a Russian kamikaze drone against the Nikopol central market injured six residents of this town in the Dnipropetrovsk region on Thursday morning, according to local authorities.
“All the injured have been hospitalized. The women, ages 39, 63 and 64, are in serious condition. The rest is in a moderate state,” the head of the regional military administration reported on Telegram, Sergui Lisak.
According to Lisak, the front town was also attacked twice by Russian artillery during the night and at least three residential buildings and a power line were damaged.
Russian troops regularly attack Nikopol from the territory of Energodar – across the Dniper River – which Russia captured in February 2022 along with the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant.
Russia also launched 31 long-range drones, including Shahed drones of Iranian design, against the country invaded during the night, the Ukrainian Air Force reported.
At least 20 were shot down by Ukrainian air defenses in the regions of Kharkiv, kyiv, Chernihiv and Dnipropetrovsk, while 11 disappeared from radars without causing damage, the Air Force revealed on Telegram.

In particular, in the city of Pokrovskfour apartment buildings and four private houses, as well as a educational institutionwere damaged by two FAB-250 guided aerial bombs and artillery.
One woman was killed and another wounded in Russian attacks on residential areas of Kharkiv over the past two days, said Oleg Syniegubov, head of the regional military administration.
