In Pavlograd, on September 6, a devastating Russian missile attack targeted a residential building, resulting in one death and over forty injuries. The attack, executed with five Iskander ballistic missiles, has raised concerns about the ongoing conflict's impact on civilians and infrastructure in Ukraine.
The Ukrainian Air Force confirmed that the missiles were launched from Russian territory, with the city's governor, Serhiy Lysak, highlighting that the attack specifically hit civilian infrastructure, including a basilica. Among the injured were children aged 4, 9, and 11.
Pavlograd, a city with a significant chemical plant, has been repeatedly targeted due to its strategic importance to the Russian military. The city is located about 100 kilometers from intense fighting in the Donetsk region, where military clashes have escalated.
As the conflict continues, the Ukrainian government is seeking military support from allies, with discussions focusing on long-range weaponry. The recent attacks, including a significant strike on the city of Poltava, have led to rising casualties and ongoing calls for international assistance.
