Russian forces attacked Pavlohrad in the Dnipropetrovsk region, striking a food industry enterprise. The attack caused casualties, according to the head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration, Oleksandr Hanzha.
The enemy struck Pavlohrad, damaging a food industry enterprise in the city. A fire broke out on the facility's premises.
Three people were killed in the attack, while at least 10 others were injured. All the wounded were hospitalized, and doctors are providing them with necessary medical care.
Information on the extent of the destruction and the exact number of casualties is currently being clarified.
Earlier, at 11:20 a.m. (Kyiv time), the Ukrainian Air Force warned residents about the enemy's use of guided aerial bombs (KABs) against Pavlohrad in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
"Pavlohrad is becoming a frontline city increasingly. This means less time to react and greater danger for people. Russia is waging a war of attrition. It strikes civilians, businesses, and cities to exhaust people and the economy," added Mykola Lukashuk, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Council.
Updated. As a result of the attack on the city, 19 people have already been injured, including a 2-year-old girl.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian air defenses repelled a Russian attack overnight. Russian forces used an Iskander-M ballistic missile, Kh-59/69 guided air-launched missiles, and 168 Shahed attack drones and decoy UAVs.
Air defense units neutralized 154 UAVs and two guided missiles, although some targets still reached their intended destinations.
As RBC-Ukraine previously reported, the Russian army also attempted to advance on the Kupiansk front. Still, it became bogged down due to three major problems: a shortage of trained personnel, a fuel deficit, and the density of Ukrainian drones, according to analysts at the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
