Russian forces 19 August attacked Nikopol and Kryvyi Rih districts of Dnipropetrovsk region more than ten times with drones and artillery. Nikopol, the Marganets and Zelenodolsk communities came under strike, where the enemy damaged a store, an administrative building, and a private house. There are no casualties among people.
The Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration reported the consequences of the night and morning attack on its Telegram channel. According to the RMA, the enemy fired on two districts of the region, using drones and artillery shelling.
"In the Nikopol area they fired at Nikopol and the Marganets community. A store caught fire, an administrative building was wrecked," the Dnipropetrovsk RMA said.
Separately, the regional administration clarified the situation in Kryvyi Rih district. There, the Zelenodolsk community came under strike.
"In the Zelenodolsk community of Kryvyi Rih district a private house was damaged," the Dnipropetrovsk RMA said.
The statement emphasized that no people were hurt as a result of more than ten attacks. Rescue services and municipal crews continue to assess the scale of damage in the affected communities.
The Russian offensive in this direction has failed
Military expert Ivan Tymochko explained why the large plan of the Russian command from the west into Dnipropetrovsk region suffered a complete failure. According to him, Russia wants to strengthen the flanks of the Pokrovsko-Myronhrad agglomeration and support an advance on Huliaipole with a broad front, but failed to secure its positions. Meanwhile, the Defense Forces continue an offensive operation on the Oleksandrivka direction, which has been ongoing since January.
Although the enemy still holds the area of the village of Dachne in Dnipropetrovsk region, where fierce fighting is taking place, the Defense Forces have already managed to deoccupy or regain control of 745 sq. km of land in two waves of counteroffensive. Throughout the operation Ukrainian defenders have driven the invaders out of 26 settlements at the junction of Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Dnipropetrovsk regions.
Military analyst Tymochko emphasized that due to disorganization and managerial chaos in the ranks of the occupiers, they failed to establish strong defensive lines and had to withdraw. Now the Kremlin's ambitious plan to break through to Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk has completely collapsed—the invaders suffered significant losses and did not have time to consolidate.
The expert stressed that this success is the result of deliberate strategic planning that has been underway for at least six months, not random tactical maneuvers. Now the Russian command will have to urgently revise plans in the south—either urgently mass reserves there or prepare a large-scale withdrawal from the mainland part of southern Ukraine.
Earlier Informator reported that Russia attacked Dnipropetrovsk region nearly 20 times in a day on 17 August; then five people were hurt, and Pavlohrad suffered the most, where fire damaged residential houses. In the Nikopol area drones also struck Nikopol and the Marganets community, and one woman was injured in that attack. Meanwhile, a forced evacuation was announced in Dnipropetrovsk region. The RMA reported which 16 settlements are involved.
