Russia attacked the city of Pavlohrad in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast on Sept. 6, killing at least one person and at least injuring 64, including at least five children, authorities said.
The injured victims reportedly include two boys aged 11 and 4 and a 9-year-old girl. Three of the hospitalized residents are in serious condition, according to Governor Serhii Lysak.
According to the governor, the oldest victim was 86 years old.
Several hits were recorded in the city, and an apartment in a high-rise building caught fire. Emergency services had already extinguished the fire and saved five people, the governor said.
Russian forces likely launched five Iskander-M or KN -23 North Korean ballistic missiles from Voronezh and Rostov oblasts, hitting civilian infrastructure in the city at around 10 a.m. local time, the Air Force said.
Pavlohrad, a city with a population of over 100,000, lies roughly 70 kilometers (over 40 miles) east of the regional center, Dnipro, and over 110 kilometers (70 miles) west of the front line.
Dnipropetrovsk Oblast in central-eastern Ukraine is a regular target of Russian missiles, drones, and artillery strikes.
