As a result of the attack, the roof of a two-story residential house caught fire in one of the settlements. Rescue services arrived promptly and extinguished the fire, preventing it from spreading further. ### Casualties and consequences of the strike According to Oleksandr Kiper, head of the Odesa Regional Military Administration, three people were injured in the shelling. Among them are two women and a one-year-old girl (1 year and 10 months old). One of the women required hospitalization, while the child received medical assistance on an outpatient basis, without being admitted to a hospital. In addition to the residential house, solar panels at one of the local enterprises were damaged. Cleanup operations are ongoing at the impact sites. ### New tactics of Russian strikes Russia continues to launch massive strikes on Ukrainian regions using various types of weaponry. Today, the first use of a guided air bomb against Pavlohrad was recorded β€” such strikes on this city had not been registered before. This resulted in destruction and injuries to local residents. There is also a noted increase in the use of hybrid targets β€” combinations of drones and missiles. This tactic complicates the work of Ukrainian air defense systems, requiring constant adaptation and modernization of protective mechanisms.
