Russian troops struck the city center of Pavlohrad in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast late on August 8, wounding nine people including four children. A private house and a car caught fire in the attack, Oleksandr Hanzha, head of the regional military administration, reported on Telegram.
As of 9:50 p.m., the injured children included girls aged three months and three years, as well as boys aged 5 and 6. Medical staff provided them with necessary care, while two adults were hospitalized, with a 58-year-old woman in serious condition, Hanzha said.
The shelling also cut power in parts of Pavlohrad, where energy workers were working to restore electricity, according to the city council.
