As a result of Russian shelling in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, five civilians were injured. According to RBC-Ukraine, citing the Telegram channel of Oleksandr Hanza, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Military Administration (OMA), as reported by XAB.info. According to his information, within a single day the occupiers attacked two districts of the oblast more than 50 times, confirming the sustained nature of the pressure on the frontline and rear areas of the region.
Scale of attacks and damaged infrastructure
The Nikopol and Kryvyi Rih directions came under fire. In the Nikopol area, enemy shells and drones struck Nikopol, as well as the Manganets, Pokrovska, Myrova, and Krasnohryhorivka communities. As a result of the shelling, apartment buildings, a private house, shops, and pharmacies, as well as cars, were damaged. In the Kryvyi Rih area, Russian forces deliberately targeted the Zelenodilska community, where a private house was damaged as a result of the attack.
Casualties
In total, five people were injured as a result of the shelling. A 41-year-old woman was hospitalized in stable condition. Four other men — aged 19, 55, 56, and 64 — will be treated as outpatients. According to the primary source, there are no fatalities among the injured.
Contradictory data
There is a discrepancy between sources in the assessment of human losses. The primary text by Oleksandr Hanza, head of the Dnipropetrovsk OMA, and the RBC-Ukraine publication speak exclusively of five injured with no fatalities. At the same time, the headline of the Ostro.org article on the same episode reads "there is a fatality and injured," indicating a possible death of a woman or a later/different version of the report. XAB.info records both versions: the main version remains the official OMA report of five injured, while the mention of a fatality requires additional verification with medical and military sources.
Context: a series of strikes on the region
The shelling on September 21 fits into a series of attacks on Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. In particular, on September 16, Russian forces struck a passenger bus in the Nikopol district with drones: five people were killed, and at least seven more were injured. In addition, on the night of September 12, Russia attacked Kryvyi Rih with a ballistic missile, killing one person and injuring two. These episodes confirm that strikes on the region's settlements are systematic.
Systematic nature of the shelling
As emphasized by the oblast administration, Russian forces continue to systematically shell settlements in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. More than 50 attacks in a day on two districts indicate the enemy's attempt to simultaneously suppress infrastructure and sow panic among the civilian population. XAB.info will continue to monitor the official statistics on losses and the condition of the injured.
