Russian Missile Attack Devastates Ukrainian City of Pavlohrad

A Russian missile attack on Pavlohrad, Ukraine, has left one civilian dead and injured at least 30 others, including three children. The attack caused fires and damaged a residential building in the city, which is an important railway hub in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

A Russian missile attack on Friday killed one civilian and wounded at least 30 other people, including three children, in the Ukrainian city of Pavlohrad, according to regional governor Serhiy Lysak.

Lysak, governor for the central Dnipropetrovsk region, reported that the attack sparked several fires across the city and caused damage to a residential high-rise building. 'Thirty people were injured in Pavlohrad. Three of them are children,' he said on the Telegram messaging app.

The industrial city of Pavlohrad, which had a pre-war population of about 100,000 people, is a crucial railway hub for the Dnipropetrovsk region. The railway network connects the region to the east of the country, where Russian forces are gradually advancing towards the city of Pokrovsk.
