In broad daylight, Russian occupiers struck directly at a road in Pavlograd, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. According to RBC-Ukraine, citing statements by Dmytro… [sic] β€” actually, citing statements by the head of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Council, Nikolai Lukashuk, and the head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration, Oleksandr Hanzha, in Telegram, one person was killed in the attack and five others were injured. One of the injured is in a critical condition and is receiving medical care. ### Strike on the road and emergency services' response As Lukashuk emphasized, "the enemy struck directly at the road." At the scene, vehicles are on fire and all emergency services are working. The official also noted that the straight-line distance from Pavlograd's suburbs to the front line is currently about 80 km, underscoring how deep the rear areas being shelled are. Lukashuk expressed his sincere condolences to the family of the deceased and wished all the injured a speedy recovery. ### Reaction from Dnipropetrovsk region authorities Both regional leaders β€” the head of the Oblast Council, Nikolai Lukashuk, and the head of the Regional Military Administration, Oleksandr Hanzha β€” publicly confirmed the fact of the attack and its consequences in their Telegram channels. Their statements document both the human casualties and the damaged infrastructure, including the burned-out vehicles at the site of the strike on the city's transport artery. ### Series of attacks on Pavlograd The current incident is not the first in recent weeks. Earlier, RBC-Ukraine reported that in a Russian attack on September 10, five people were killed in Pavlograd, with eight children among the injured. On August 28, the occupiers also shelled the city: a fire broke out and four people were injured. On August 13, a logistics company came under attack, and a fire broke out on its premises. Thus, Pavlograd is regularly coming under rocket and air strikes. ### Contradictory data There is a discrepancy in the casualty figures between various reports and dates. According to the main version by Lukashuk and Hanzha, one person was killed and five were injured in the strike on the road. At the same time, other sources record different episodes and different losses: according to UNIAN, three people were killed and an enterprise was damaged in an air-bomb strike on Pavlograd; another UNIAN report mentions the death of a 17-year-old boy in a strike on a supermarket; Glavred reports numerous killed and injured after a daytime shelling of a civilian enterprise. These data relate to different dates and targets of the attacks, but taken together they create a contradictory picture of the overall casualty statistics, which could not be reconciled into a single verified figure at the time of publication. As of September 14, 2026, the exact number of casualties and the full list of those injured in the latest strike on the road in Pavlograd may be clarified as emergency services work and the investigation proceeds. The outlet XAB.info continues to monitor the development of events and to update the information as confirmed data from regional authorities becomes available. ## πŸ” Fact-Check Verification - [Enemy struck directly at a road in Pavlograd: one killed and several injured](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/vorog-vdariv-prosto-dorozi-pavlogradi-e-zagibliy-1789392067.html) - ΠŸΠ΅Ρ€Π²ΠΈΡ‡Π½Ρ‹ΠΉ источник основной вСрсии: ΡƒΠ΄Π°Ρ€ ΠΏΠΎ Π΄ΠΎΡ€ΠΎΠ³Π΅, 1 погибший, 5 Ρ€Π°Π½Π΅Π½Ρ‹Ρ…, 1 Π² тяТёлом состоянии; заявлСния Π›ΡƒΠΊΠ°ΡˆΡƒΠΊΠ° ΠΈ Π“Π°Π½ΠΆΠΈ; 80 ΠΊΠΌ Π΄ΠΎ Ρ„Ρ€ΠΎΠ½Ρ‚Π°. - [Russia hit Pavlograd with an air bomb: enterprise damaged, casualties reported](https://www.unian.net/war/voyna-v-ukraine-v-rezultate-udara-aviabomby-po-pavlogradu-pogibli-tri-cheloveka-novosti-dnepra-13449132.html) - ΠžΡ‚Π΄Π΅Π»ΡŒΠ½Ρ‹ΠΉ эпизод ΡƒΠ΄Π°Ρ€Π° Π°Π²ΠΈΠ°Π±ΠΎΠΌΠ±ΠΎΠΉ ΠΏΠΎ ΠΏΡ€Π΅Π΄ΠΏΡ€ΠΈΡΡ‚ΠΈΡŽ с трСмя погибшими β€” создаёт расхоТдСниС Π² Ρ†ΠΈΡ„Ρ€Π°Ρ… ΠΏΠΎΡ‚Π΅Ρ€ΡŒ с основной вСрсиСй. - [Many killed and injured: Russia shelled a civilian enterprise in broad daylight](https://glavred.info/ukraine/bagato-zagiblih-ta-travmovanih-rf-posered-dnya-obstrilyala-civilne-pidpriyemstvo-10782863.html) - ΠŸΠΎΠ΄Ρ‚Π²Π΅Ρ€ΠΆΠ΄Π°Π΅Ρ‚ Π΄Π½Π΅Π²Π½ΠΎΠΉ обстрСл граТданского ΠΎΠ±ΡŠΠ΅ΠΊΡ‚Π° ΠΈ Π½Π°Π»ΠΈΡ‡ΠΈΠ΅ мноТСства ΠΆΠ΅Ρ€Ρ‚Π²; Ρ‚ΠΎΡ‡Π½Ρ‹Π΅ Ρ†ΠΈΡ„Ρ€Ρ‹ Π½Π΅ ΡΠΎΠ²ΠΏΠ°Π΄Π°ΡŽΡ‚ с Π΄Ρ€ΡƒΠ³ΠΈΠΌΠΈ сводками. - [Russia struck a supermarket in Pavlograd: 17-year-old boy killed (video)](https://www.unian.net/war/rf-udarila-po-supermarketu-v-pavlograde-bushuet-silnyy-pozhar-est-postradavshie-video-novosti-dnepra-13483512.html) - ΠžΡ‚Π΄Π΅Π»ΡŒΠ½Ρ‹ΠΉ эпизод ΡƒΠ΄Π°Ρ€Π° Π°Π²ΠΈΠ°Π±ΠΎΠΌΠ±ΠΎΠΉ ΠΏΠΎ ΠΏΡ€Π΅Π΄ΠΏΡ€ΠΈΡΡ‚ΠΈΡŽ с трСмя погибшими β€” создаёт расхоТдСниС Π² Ρ†ΠΈΡ„Ρ€Π°Ρ… ΠΏΠΎΡ‚Π΅Ρ€ΡŒ с основной вСрсиСй. ## ❓ FAQ ### Q: What happened in Pavlograd? **A:** Russian occupiers struck directly at a road in Pavlograd in broad daylight.
