Three people injured, including a child

Three people were injured in the missile strike — two women and a 1-year-and-10-month-old girl.

One of the women was hospitalized. The child received medical treatment as an outpatient and did not require hospitalization.

Emergency crews are currently working at the sites of the strikes to deal with the aftermath.

Russia continues to launch massive attacks on Ukrainian regions using various types of weapons.

Today, Russia used a guided aerial bomb against Pavlohrad for the first time — no such strikes on the city had previously been recorded. The attack caused damage and left local residents injured.

Meanwhile, Russia is increasingly using hybrid weapons that combine drones and missiles. This makes it more difficult for Ukrainian air defense systems to intercept them.
