The State Emergency Service added that firefighters are fighting the blaze over a total area of more than 3,000 square metres. Eleven appliances and 52 personnel were engaged in responding to the fire.

The response to the aftermath of the attack is currently underway. All relevant services are working at the scene, and law enforcement officers are documenting the latest crimes of Russian terrorists.

Furthermore, Lysak said that there had been drone strikes on civilian infrastructure in Kryvyi Rih. Damage has been caused, a fire broke out, and firefighters have contained the fire.

The Russians hit Nikopol with heavy artillery. They also hit Velykomykhailivka hromada in the Synelnykove district, damaging a power line and a gas pipeline [a hromada is an administrative unit designating a town, village or several villages and their adjacent territories].

No one was killed or injured in the Russian attacks.
