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. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [Russians attacked Dnipropetrovshchyna more than 50 times, there are injured and destruction](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/rosiyani-ponad-50-raziv-atakuvali-dnipropetrovshchinu-1789919453.html) - Подтверждает 50+ атак, два района, список общин, повреждённую инфраструктуру и пятерых раненых (ссылка на ОВА Ганжи). - [Russia shelled Dnipropetrovsk Oblast more than 50 times, there is a fatality and injured](https://www.ostro.org/ru/news/rf-bolee-50-raz-obstrelyala-dnepropetrovskuyu-oblast-est-pogybshaya-y-ranenye-i559746) - Подтверждает масштаб атак, но заголовок упоминает «погибшую», чего нет в первичной сводке ОВА — расхождение вынесено в текст. - [Russian army attacked Nikopol with drones: five people killed, many injured](https://www.unian.net/war/nikopol-rossiyane-nanesli-udar-po-gorodu-est-pogibshie-13337901.html) - Используется как контекст для эпизода 16 сентября (удар по автобусу, 5 погибших); не относится к обстрелам 21 сентября. ## ❓ FAQ ### Q: How many people were injured as a result of the shelling of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast on September 21? **A:** According to Oleksandr Hanza, head of the Dnipropetrovsk OMA, five civilians were injured: a 41-year-old woman was hospitalized in stable condition, and four other men (aged 19, 55, 56, and 64) are being treated as outpatients. ### Q: How many attacks did Russian forces carry out in a day? **A:** More than 50 attacks in a day on two districts of the oblast — the Nikopol area (Nikopol, Manganets, Pokrovska, Myrova, and Krasnohryhorivka communities) and the Kryvyi Rih area (Zelenodilska community). ### Q: Are there any fatalities as a result of this shelling? **A:** The primary OMA report and the RBC-Ukraine publication do not list any fatalities among those injured on September 21 — only five injured.
