Lysak said Ukrainian air defense units shot down 11 drones during the assault. In addition to Pavlohrad, fires were reported in the Synelnykove and Samarskyi districts, where industrial facilities were hit.
The Nikopol area also came under attack, including Nikopol city and the Marhanets community. Russian forces used FPV drones and Grad multiple rocket launchers in the strikes, damaging an enterprise but causing no reported casualties.
The attack came on the heels of one of Russia’s largest aerial assaults on Ukraine, carried out Thursday, April 24, which killed 12 people and injured dozens more. President Volodymyr Zelensky called it “one of the most sophisticated and brazen” attacks since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion three years ago.
