During the night of April 24, Russian troops again opened fire on Ukrainian cities, causing a new wave of alarm and destruction
The occupiers delivered a powerful missile strike on the city of Pavlohrad in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, according to the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration (RMA). This is the second attack in a few days on this strategic industrial and railway corridor, which has become a symbol of Ukrainian resistance and a painful reminder of the ongoing increase in tension at the front. According to RMA head Serhiy Lysak, information about the missile attack began arriving within the first minutes of the night — at 01:13, when local reporters from Suspilne.Dnipro recorded a series of explosions in the city. Later, this information was officially confirmed, and authorities warned residents about the prolonged danger. In his address, Serhiy Lysak emphasized: "Pavlohrad is again under enemy attack. The threat continues. We ask everyone to follow safety rules and stay in safe places." The attack serves as a further reminder that Russia continues systematically striking various regions of Ukraine, employing the full spectrum of weapons — from drones to cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. These strikes are carried out within the framework of a so-called combined air operation aimed at increasing psychological pressure and destroying critical infrastructure. Essentially, this nighttime attack is a continuation of the active phase of Russian military actions, which do not slow down even during daylight hours. Military experts note that aerial attacks demonstrate the enemy’s intention to maximize pressure on Ukrainian cities, underscoring that Ukrainians must be prepared for any scenario. Pavlohrad, in turn, has once again come into focus due to its strategic importance: the city plays a key role in regional logistics routes and industrial complexes. Local residents have already begun evacuation efforts and are seeking shelter in refuges, as each missile strike in this direction has a strong psychological impact and serves as a reminder of the cost of peace. The local authorities urge citizens to remain vigilant, follow official updates, and stay in shelters until the threat is lifted. Overall, the nighttime attack emphasizes once again the scale of Russia’s actions across Ukraine and its intention to continue military operations regardless of the time of day. Ukrainian defenders, despite constant challenges, continue to defend their land, and local authorities call on the population to stay strong and remember: only united efforts can hold Ukraine back from further destruction and pave the way for a better future.
