New strike on Pavlohrad: attack on logistics center
On Thursday, August 13, 2026, Russian occupiers launched another strike on the city of Pavlohrad in the Dnipropetrovsk region. A logistics company was hit, and a large-scale fire broke out following the impact. This was reported by the head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration (RMA), Alexander Ganja, who confirmed the attack and the start of liquidation efforts.
According to Ganja, the strike targeted the premises of a logistics company, suggesting a possible attempt to destabilize supply chains in the region. The fire quickly spread across the site, but rescue services arrived promptly and began extinguishing operations.
Rescuers localized the fire; casualty figures being clarified
As the head of the RMA later clarified, the fire at the site of the enemy strike in Pavlohrad has been localized. Currently, efforts to liquidate the consequences of the attack are ongoing: rescuers are checking the area for remaining hotspots and assessing the damage to the facility's infrastructure.
Preliminary data indicates that two men were injured in the strike. They refused hospitalization and were released after receiving first aid. Full information regarding casualties and potential fatalities is still being verified.
Contradictory data
At the same time, according to the source Korrespondent.net, three people were killed and the number of injured reached 19 as a result of the strike on Pavlohrad. This information has not yet been confirmed by official representatives of the Dnipropetrovsk RMA. Thus, there are two versions of the assessment of the attack's consequences: one from the official regional representative and another from an independent news resource. The discrepancy in figures may be due to data coming from different sides requiring further verification.
Pavlohrad in the focus of Russian attacks: chronology of strikes
This is not the first strike on Pavlohrad in August 2026. On the night of August 9, Russian occupiers attacked the area near the city's shopping center and energy facilities. Nine people were injured then, including four children. Earlier, on August 6, Russia struck the Ukrposhta sorting depot in Pavlohrad with a "Banderol" drone-missile, killing two employees.
Also recently, Russian forces struck a production complex in Pavlohrad with three KABs, where enterprises of partners of the Star Brands group of companies are located. These attacks demonstrate systematic pressure on the region's infrastructure and economic objects.
Consequences for logistics and the regional economy
The attack on the logistics company in Pavlohrad could have serious consequences for the regional economy. Logistics centers play a key role in ensuring the supply of goods, especially in wartime conditions. A strike on such an object could lead to a temporary disruption of supply chains, affecting the availability of goods and the operation of enterprises in the region.
The authorities of the Dnipropetrovsk region continue to monitor the situation and coordinate the actions of rescue services. It is expected that more detailed data on the scale of damage and the consequences of the attack will be published in the coming days.
