"Private sector of Pavlohrad. Between the yards... On the road... Face to the ground... This is how the locals met this morning. They were hiding from the enemy's iron. At that moment, their houses were falling down around them," the head of the OVA wrote.

The blast wave damaged five schools, four kindergartens, an outpatient clinic, shops, a bank and a dormitory, as well as seven cars.

"Power equipment was also damaged, there are power outages. Repairmen are working," added Lysak.
