Apartments from the first to the fifth floor are in flames. The blaze covered 700 square meters. Rescuers are working to put the fire out.

Three victims are reported at a private enterprise. All were hospitalized. There are likely people remaining under the rubble of the gutted warehouse. Rescuers are working to locate them. Six cars were damaged.

Four more people weer injured at another location. A building and a car went ablaze there. The fire has already been put out.

The motor park was also hit. Trucks were hit. The flames have already been put out. A farm building was destroyed.

The enemy will not leave Nikopol in peace either. At night, heavy artillery shelled the Pokrovsk and Marhanets communities. The territory is being examined.
