Russian troops shelled Nikopol in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast early on Feb. 13, killing a 64-year-old man and damaging his house, Serhii Lysak, the regional governor, reported.

Russian earlier attacks on the Nikopol district wounded a 73-year-old woman, as well as damaged an agricultural enterprise, almost 20 houses, and other buildings on Feb. 12, according to Lysak.

Russian attacks against Kherson Oblast overnight and on the previous day injured two other people and hit residential areas, according to Prokudin.

Russia launched 127 strikes on 17 settlements in Zaporizhzhia Oblast in the past day, the regional administration said on Facebook.
