At least five people were injured after Russian forces shelled the city of Nikopol, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Governor Serhii Lysak reported on July 22.

Lysak said that a 37-year-old man was hospitalized in moderate condition as a result of the attack, and that four others were treated on an outpatient basis.

Nikopol, just across from Russian-occupied Enerhodar and the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, is a regular target of Russian attacks.

Five people, including a ten-year-old boy, were injured in a Russian attack on the city on July 7.

On July 2, four people were killed, including two elderly women, and 10 others were injured in another Russian strike on Nikopol.
