Russian forces attacked the region around Nikopol in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast seven times over the course of the day, Governor Serhii Lysak reported on Nov. 3.

As a result, a 51-year-old man was injured and hospitalized.

Russian forces fired more than thirty artillery shells at the region, Lysak said, with the city of Nikopol being the targeted the most.  

The attacks damaged 8 homes, 6 farm buildings, a utility company and multiple power lines, according to the governor.

The city of Nikopol lies at the mostly dried-up Kakhovka Reservoir, just across the Russian-occupied Enerhodar and Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. It is a regular target of Russian attacks.

A drone strike on Nikopol on Nov. 1 killed a 59-year-old woman and injured four other people.

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.
