Quote: “An infrastructure facility was damaged in Dnipro. A fire broke out. A 52-year-old woman sustained shrapnel wounds. She is in hospital in a moderate condition.”
Details: Infrastructure was also damaged in the Samar district, where a fire broke out. A high-rise building, an office building, outbuildings and several cars were damaged and one vehicle was completely destroyed in the attack.
“The enemy also struck the Nikopol district. Kamikaze drones and heavy artillery were used. The Marhanets, Pokrovske and Myrove hromadas suffered. A 64-year-old woman was injured and hospitalised. An outbuilding was damaged,” Lysak summarised. [A hromada is an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town, and their adjacent territories – ed.]
Ukrzaliznytsia (Ukrainian Railways) confirmed that the Russians had attacked energy facilities of the railway in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, which led to changes in the schedules of several trains.
In particular, train No. 86 Lviv – Zaporizhzhia departed from Dnipro with a delay; train No. 72 Lviv – Pavlohrad will follow an altered route via Synelnykove-2 station instead of Samar-Dniprovskyi station.
“Reserve diesel locomotives in the region are already being prepared to take over trains if necessary. All delays can be monitored in real-time on the website,” Ukrzaliznytsia reported.
Updated: Later, Lysak added that high-rise buildings in Dnipro were also damaged, with at least 100 windows shattered. Garages caught fire.
Loud explosions were also recorded in the Synelnykove district in the morning. Infrastructure was damaged and dozens of windows in a high-rise building shattered. However, there were no casualties.
“Air defence forces downed 11 UAVs over Dnipropetrovsk Oblast,” Lysak concluded.
Background: Explosions were heard in Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk oblasts at dawn on 13 March as the Russians attacked critical infrastructure facilities.
