The latest developments from Russia's war on Ukraine.
ADVERTISEMENT"The Russian army shelled Nikopol with heavy artillery in the morning," the governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region, Sergei Lyssak, said on Telegram.
In Russia, two people were injured by Ukrainian shelling on a village in the Bryansk region bordering Ukraine.
Animals from a herd also died or were injured in the attack, and a vehicle was "damaged", regional governor Alexander Bogomaz added on Telegram.
Another man was killed in Ukrainian shelling in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine, which has been partially under Russian control since 2014, local occupation authorities announced.
Earlier, Ukraine reported an additional Russian night attack, involving 35 Iranian-made Shahed drones, 34 of which were shot down.
The attacks came "in waves" during the course of the night and originated from annexed Crimea, the eastern shore of the Sea of Azov, as well as Kursk, a Russian city close to Ukraine's northern border, the Ukrainian air force said on Telegram.
Russia launches drone and missile attacks against Ukraine almost every night.
Kiev accuses the Kremlin of seeking to terrorize the civilian population and destroy its energy infrastructure in order to plunge the population into darkness and cold, as it did last winter.
Millions of people were left without power, something the Ukrainian authorities want to avoid this year at all costs.
Ukraine has since reinforced its anti-aircraft defense systems with Western weapons that can shoot down most of the explosive drones and missiles sent by Russia.
