This is the second time in three days that Russian troops have attacked Ukrainian cities. One person was killed and 34 injured in a missile attack in the Kherson region in a series of attacks.

Meanwhile, the Ukrainian Armed Forces claimed that they intercepted 15 of the 18 missiles fired by Russia with their air defense system.

Ukraine‍‍`s Dnipropetrovsk military administration termed the attack as a "sad night and morning". 19 high-rise buildings, 25 houses, 6 schools, some kindergartens and 5 shops were damaged in this attack.

One of the main targets of the attack was the city of Pavlohrad, near Dnipro, a Russian official named Vladimir Rogov said on Telegram. Ukrainian forces have been hit there. The missiles were fired at rail infrastructure and fuel depots.

Ukraine‍‍`s military has reported a major counterattack in some time. However, the attack was not reported.
