Five people were killed and 25 others injured on Saturday in a Russian drone attack on Ukraine's frontline city of Nikopol, reported Xinhua, quoting local authorities. Several Russian FPV drones hit a market in the city located in the central Dnipropetrovsk region, causing a fire and damaging market pavilions as well as a nearby shop, said the regional military administration. Eight of the injured were hospitalized with shrapnel wounds, blast traumas and burns, including a 14-year-old girl who remains in severe condition. Meanwhile, fire has broken out at Russia's NORSI oil refinery, the country's fourth-largest, following a drone attack. According to governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region Gleb Nikitin, Russian air defense forces repelled an overnight attack by 30 Ukrainian drones over an industrial zone in the Kstovsky district. Debris from the downed drones damaged two facilities of Lukoil-Nizhegorodnefteorgsintez (NORSI) oil refinery, triggering fires that were later localized. The attack also damaged a thermal power plant and several residential buildings. Preliminary information indicates that no casualties have been reported, Nikitin said.
