At night, the Russian army shelled the Nikopol city of the Dnipropetrovsk region twice. 80 rockets were fired at residential areas. 10 people died, 11 were injured. In the city, 20 high-rise buildings, a palace of culture, a dormitory, two schools, the building of the city council and several other administrative premises were damaged.

     ***** The Russians do not blame Ukraine for the strikes on the military airfield in Crimea, because that would prove the ineffectiveness of the Russian air defense system. The spokesman of the Air Force Command of Ukraine assumes that the weapons depot and about a dozen planes were probably destroyed at the airfield in Novofedorivka, near the city of Saki.
