Russian forces launched an artillery attack on the city of Marganets in the Dnipropetrovsk region, leaving three injured, including a 9-year-old child.
The young boy was rushed to the hospital and is currently in a stable condition, though still being treated for moderate injuries.
Two women, aged 43 and 69, sustained injuries but will recover at home, with doctors assessing their condition as satisfactory.
The attack also ignited fires in two cars, which were quickly extinguished by emergency services. It also damaged several stores and five-story residential buildings. Authorities are still assessing the full extent of the destruction.
Additionally, a separate drone strike on the nearby city of Nikopol has claimed the life of a 42-year-old man, and left a 36-year-old woman in critical condition in the hospital.

Rinat Akhmetov’s Metinvest Group has completed the construction of an upgraded underground NATO Role 2 hospital in one of the hottest sectors of the frontline. This is the second stabilization point established under the Steel Front initiative in cooperation with the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The new facility, funded by Metinvest with an investment of UAH 21 million, is more secure than the first one thanks to its deeper location underground (over 6 meters) and additional fortifications.
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
