Russian drone hits car in Nikopol, killing twelve-year old girl and severely injuring a four-year-old

A Russian drone hit a civilian car in Nikopol, in the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, killing a twelve-year-old girl and a woman of 25.

As Russian Armed Forces persist in targeting civilian areas from occupied territories, the incident serves as a grim reminder of the urgent need for increased international support and diplomatic efforts to end the conflict and protect innocent lives.

As reported by the head of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast administration Serhii Lysak, the attack also injured two people: a four-year-old girl, who is in serious condition, and a 25-year-old man. The girl suffered shrapnel wounds to her head, hand and forearm.

”The victims were hospitalized. The child is in serious condition. Both are being provided with all necessary medical care,” Lysak reported.

According to Lysak, Russian attacks around Nikopol and Chervonohryhorivka continued in the evening and at night: volleys from Grad MLRSs (self-propelled 122mm multiple rocket launchers), artillery shelling, and kamikaze drone raids. A gas service vehicle was damaged in the attack.
