Editor's note: The article was updated with casualties in Marhanets, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

Russian attacks on Feb. 6 injured two people in Kherson Oblast and two in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, regional officials reported.

Russia attacked the Kherson Oblast village of Tokarivka in the morning, the oblast's military administration reported.

The two victims, a 60-year-old man and a 74-year-old woman, were taken to the hospital. The military administration did not clarify the extent of their injuries or what their condition was.

Tokarivka, a village on the western bank of the Dnipro River, is located about 36 kilometers northeast of the city of Kherson.

Russian forces also launched a drone against Marhanets, injuring a 50-year-old woman and a 63-year-old man, Governor Serhii Lysak said.

The woman will be treated at home, while the man required hospitalization, the governor added.

Four houses and a car were also damaged in Marhanets.

Marhanets lies over 90 kilometers south of the regional center, Dnipro, and just across the mostly dried-up Kakhovka Reservoir. Russian forces hold the other bank of the reservoir, occupying the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant and the city of Enerhodar.

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.
