A private home caught fire in Pavlohrad following a Russian strike

On the evening of August 20, the Russian army launched an attack on Pavlohrad in the Dnipropetrovsk region. A fire broke out on the grounds of a private residence following the attack. Information regarding possible casualties is currently being verified.

 

Oleksandr Hanzha, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration, reported on the strike on the city. According to him, Russian troops attacked Pavlohrad in the evening. “The enemy attacked Pavlohrad. A fire broke out on the grounds of a private residence,” Ganza wrote.

A fire broke out at the site following the strike. Rescuers from the State Emergency Service of Ukraine responded promptly to the call. They are currently working at the scene and dealing with the aftermath of the attack. Information regarding the extent of the damage is still being verified. Authorities are also determining whether there are any civilian casualties. At the time of the first report of the attack, no such information was available.

Rescue workers are dealing with the aftermath of the strike

The fire broke out on the grounds of a private residence. The report from the regional military administration does not specify whether the residential building or other structures were damaged. Experts are set to inspect the site once rescue workers have completed their work. At that point, it will be possible to more accurately assess the consequences of the Russian attack and determine the extent of the damage.

Regional authorities are urging residents not to ignore air raid sirens and to take shelter during attacks. Russian troops regularly strike settlements in the Dnipropetrovsk region using missiles and attack drones. As of the time of publication, there was no official information regarding fatalities or injuries resulting from this strike. The data may be updated once emergency services have completed their work. Oleksandr Ganzha, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional State Administration, reported this on Telegram.

The Russian attack last night was one of the most cynical and large-scale strikes against Ukraine, said Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

In the Darnytskyi district of Kyiv, near the “Auchan” hypermarket on Zdolbunivska Street, a dangerous object was discovered which, according to preliminary data, may be a cluster munition from an X-101 missile.
