Deadly strike on Nikopol market: City declares day of mourning

According to Ukrinform, this was reported on Telegram by Head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration Oleksandr Hanzha.

“Nikopol is observing a day of mourning for those killed in a Russian attack. The enemy strike claimed five lives – three women and two men. Twenty-eight people were injured, including a 14-year-old girl. The child is in hospital in serious condition,” the statement reads.

Hanzha noted that Russian forces targeted a market that is always crowded, in the morning of a weekend day. “This was not accidental, but a deliberate act of terror against civilians,” he stressed.

As reported by Ukrinform, early on April 4, Russian forces struck a market in Nikopol with FPV drones. Earlier reports said five people were killed and 26 injured.

Three of the wounded – a 14-year-old girl and men aged 28 and 72 – are in serious condition. The girl has been taken to a regional hospital.
