The Russian troops continue to heavily shell settlements of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, attacking almost every day.

The Russians have firing positions in the occupied city of Enerhodar in Zaporizhzhya Oblast, across the River Dnipro from Nikopol, and Chervonohryhorivka. They have also set up firing positions at the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant, the biggest nuclear plant in Europe.
