A Russian missile strike in Kryvyi Rih resulted in 18 fatalities, including nine children, and left 61 others injured, with the city devastated by subsequent drone attacks. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned Russia's persistent aggression and called on international allies to bolster military support and air defenses. The local government reported substantial damage, with approximately 20 apartments, numerous vehicles, and other structures impacted. In contrast, Russia claims the strike targeted military personnel, which Ukraine disputes. The ongoing conflict emphasizes the urgent need for a unified response against such acts of violence.
The missile struck an area right next to residential buildings, hitting a playground and ordinary streets. Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram, urging allies to bolster Ukraine's air defenses.
Every missile, every drone strike proves Russia wants only war. There can never be forgiveness for this, said Oleksandr Vilkul, the head of the city's defence council.
