Key Takeaways

  • Nikopol lies just across the Dnipro River from Russian‐occupied territory near the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, making it a frequent target of artillery and drone attacks since mid‑2022 (thefrontlinereport.com).
  • In late March 2026, Nikopol was already hit by an FPV drone strike that wounded 11 people, including a child in critical condition, underscoring the persistent threat and evolving tactics (newsukraine.rbc.ua).
