Earlier in the day, a 46-year-old woman was injured when Russian troops shelled Nikopol.
More than 20 rounds were fired by Russian forces at Nikopol and the community of Chervonohryhorivka, damaging 17 residential buildings, including apartments and private houses.
The shelling also damaged gas and power lines, leaving 1,000 Nikopol residents without electricity, Lysak reported.
