A Russian attack on the evening of March 25 on Dnipropetrovsk injured a 91-year-old woman, Governor Serhii Lysak reported on March 26.

Russian forces attacked the community of Marhanets in the region's Nikopol district with a kamikaze drone, according to Lysak.

Russian troops also reportedly fired on the community of Chervonohryhorivka with heavy artillery.

A separate Russian attack on the morning of March 29 targeted the city of Nikopol, according to Lysak. Nine homes, a gas pipeline, and a power line were damaged.

Nikopol, situated on the banks of the dried-up Kakhovka Reservoir, just across from Russian-occupied Enerhodar and the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, is a regular target of Russian attacks.

The most recent Russian drone attack on Nikopol injured five people on March 17.

"Russian military personnel know exactly where their drones are headed and how long they can stay in the air," President Volodymyr Zelensky said, commenting on the attacks. "The routes are always calculated. This cannot be an accident, a mistake, or the initiative of some lower-level commanders."

It is the third time Russian forces have used pipelines as a tactic, which they first adopted during the Battle of Avdiivka. Back in March, around 100 troops passed through a gas pipeline to reach Ukrainian positions in Sudzha, in Russia’s Kursk Oblast.
