Russian forces attacked Dnipropetrovsk Oblast with artillery, drones, and a cruise missile, injuring a 65-year-old woman, regional governor Serhii Lysak reported on Dec. 30.

She was reportedly hospitalized in moderate condition.

While Lysak did not specify where in the oblast the woman was injured, he reported that Russian forces attacked the region's Nikopol district and the communities of Myrivske and Marhanets.

Nikopol lies near the Kakhovka Reservoir, just across from Russian-occupied Enerhodar and the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. The area is under a constant barrage of Russian attacks.

This attack on Dnipropetrovsk Oblast reportedly damaged gas pipes, a five-story-building, and 20 homes. It also set an agricultural enterprise on fire, which firefighters have since extinguished.

Around 130 households were left without electricity due to damages sustained to local power lines.

No casualties were reported in Dnipro, where the day prior a Russian air attack killed six people and injured around 30. A shopping center and a maternity hospital were also hit in the attack.

Russia launched a mass air attack against Ukraine on Dec. 29 that killed at least 39 people and injured over 160 others. Casualties were reported in Kyiv, Odesa, Dnipro, Lviv, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia.

Merkel describes Trump as 'fascinated by Putin' in her memoir.

"(Donald Trump) saw everything from the point of view of a property developer, which is what he was before he came into politics. Every plot of land could only be sold once, and if he didn't get it, someone else would," Angela Merkel says in her memoir.
