A Russian drone strike on the Ukrainian city of Nikopol resulted in the tragic deaths of five individuals and injuries to 19 others. This attack targeted a market in the frontline city early Saturday morning, according to the prosecutor general's office.

The office declared this as 'yet another war crime' by the Russian Federation in a message shared on Telegram. The city of Nikopol, lying just across the Dnipro river from Russian-occupied territory, frequently endures such assaults.

The dangerous proximity to enemy territory makes Nikopol a regular victim of bombardment, raising international concerns and calls for accountability.
