Russian forces struck the city of Pavlohrad in the Dnipropetrovsk region, causing a fire and injuring two people, while a separate drone attack targeted agricultural workers in the Zaporizhzhia region.
Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration Head Oleksandr Hanzha reported on Telegram that the strike on Pavlohrad resulted in damage to several private houses and caused a fire that rescue workers subsequently contained.
Hanzha stated that two men, aged 47 and 54, sustained injuries in the attack and were hospitalized in moderate condition.
In a separate attack, the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration reported that Russian forces used an FPV drone to attack a combine harvester operating in a field within the Zaporizhzhia district.
The attack injured two men, aged 30 and 32, who were involved in harvesting operations. The administration stated that the individuals are receiving necessary medical assistance.
Strikes on Marhanets and Zaporizhzhia
The attack follows earlier Russian drone barrages on the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions early Saturday morning, Aug. 15.
In the Dnipropetrovsk region, Russian forces struck a multi-story residential building in Marhanets, resulting in the death of a three-month-old boy.
Hanzha reported that the attack injured 11 people, seven of whom were hospitalized in severe condition. The injured included a five-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl.
Concurrently, Russian troops launched a drone attack on the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia. The regional administration reported that the strike damaged an industrial enterprise and a shopping center, where a fire broke out.
Ukraine’s State Emergency Service later stated that rescue workers had extinguished two fires caused by the Russian drone strikes on Zaporizhzhia during the night of Aug. 15.
