Russian artillery strikes on the Nikopol district in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast on Nov. 5 killed a 77-year-old man and injured two men aged 30 and 58, according to Governor Serhii Lysak.

The attacks damaged an infrastructure facility and an agricultural business, Lysak said on Telegram.

Russian troops launched 132 strikes against the southern region, using mortars, artillery, Grad multiple-launch rocket systems, tanks, drones, and aviation, according to Prokudin.

The attacks on Kherson Oblast reportedly hit residential districts, a shop, and businesses, as well as damaged several apartment buildings.
