On September 10, 2026, at around 17:00, Russian military forces struck Pavlohrad in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. According to reports, multiple fires broke out in the city, with shops and cars catching fire, and there are both killed and injured among civilians. The attack and the initial casualties were announced by Alexander Ganza, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration (RMA), on Telegram, as reported by RBC-Ukraine. According to him, the Russian strike on Pavlohrad left at least 18 people injured, and he also reported fatalities in his statement. ### Timeline of attacks on the city Pavlohrad has been subjected to strikes before, and September 10 became the latest episode in a recurring series of attacks. As early as August 28, the occupiers struck the city, and the shelling sparked a fire and injured four people. On August 13, Russia attacked Pavlohrad again: a logistics company was hit, and a fire also broke out on its premises. The most severe incident was recorded on August 6, when Russia struck the Ukrposhta sorting depot in Pavlohrad with a "Bandierol" drone-missile — as a result, two female employees were killed. Thus, over the past weeks the city has repeatedly become a target of strikes on civilian and logistics infrastructure. ### Situation in the city after the strike According to Ukrainian media, after today's strike, shops and cars are burning in Pavlohrad, and emergency services are working at the scene. Ukrainian outlets, including UNIAN, report a strike on a supermarket and the death of a young man, as well as a major fire and casualties. Due to the scale of the fires and the number of injured, the situation in the city remains tense, and the exact picture of the consequences is being clarified as rescuers and medical workers carry out their work. ### Contradictory data The key discrepancy between sources concerns the number of victims. The basis of today's news and the statement by Alexander Ganza, head of the Dnipropetrovsk RMA, refers to two killed and at least 18 injured (the number of injured "approaches twenty"). At the same time, the outlet Meduza, citing data on the same September 10 strike, reports four killed and more than 60 injured. UNIAN additionally notes the death of a 17-year-old boy in the strike on the supermarket. The difference in figures may be explained by the fact that casualty data are updated as emergency services work and that different outlets record the situation at different stages. Until official confirmation by the authorities, both versions — "two killed / about 18 injured" and "four killed / more than 60 injured" — remain in play, and the exact figures have not yet been reconciled. ### Reaction and consequences The authorities of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast confirmed the fact of the strike and the presence of casualties, and firefighters and medical teams are working at the scene. The repeated attacks on Pavlohrad — on logistics, the postal depot and retail facilities — underscore that the city has once again come under fire, and civilian infrastructure continues to suffer losses. Final data on the number of killed and injured, as well as the scale of the destruction, will be clarified as the situation stabilizes. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [Russia struck Pavlohrad: many fires in the city, with killed and injured (video)](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/rosiya-vdarila-pavlogradu-misti-bagato-pozhezh-1789050825.html) - Подтверждает факт удара 10 сентября, многочисленные пожары и наличие погибших/раненых; совпадает с основой и заявлением Ганжи. - [Russian military struck Pavlohrad in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
