On the night of August 19, the Ukrainian city of Pavlograd once again fell victim to destructive attacks by Russian forces, resulting in a large-scale fire and damage to a transportation enterprise.

According to Serhiy Lysak, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration, the enemy carried out the assault using drones, specifically FPV-type UAVs, and artillery.

This led to a fire outbreak, damaging several facilities, including the transport company, as well as residential buildings.

Earlier, in neighboring Nikopol, the occupiers launched attacks from the air and ground, causing destruction and fires in apartment buildings and private homes.

Military sources confirm that four enemy drones were shot down over the region during these attacks.

Fortunately, there have been no casualties or injuries reported, despite the intensity of the strikes.

It is known that on August 19, Russian troops shelled the region, including causing the death of a woman in Nikopol.

Ukrainian defenders continue their efforts to protect their territories, intercepting enemy UAVs and striving to minimize damage and civilian casualties amidst ongoing hostilities.
