Russian Strike Hits DTEK Coal Company Building in Pavlohrad, Injuring Three

Russian forces struck the administrative building of a DTEK coal company facility in the Ukrainian city of Pavlohrad on Thursday evening, injuring three people, according to officials.

DTEK, Ukraine's largest private energy company, operates coal mining and power generation facilities across the country, and its infrastructure has repeatedly come under attack since Russia's full-scale invasion. Energy infrastructure has been a recurring target throughout the war, with strikes often aimed at undermining Ukraine's power generation and industrial capacity.

Local officials reported that three people were injured in the strike on the administrative building, though further details on the severity of their injuries or the extent of damage to the facility were not immediately available.

Pavlohrad, located in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region, has faced repeated attacks as Russian forces have targeted industrial and energy infrastructure in the area. The city's coal industry has been an important part of the regional economy and Ukraine's broader energy supply chain.

Ukrainian authorities have consistently condemned strikes on energy and industrial facilities as attempts to disrupt civilian life and economic activity, while emergency services continue to respond to the aftermath of such attacks across the country.
