At least six people were killed and 25 others injured following Russian missile attacks on the Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih, in the center of the country, early on Tuesday, according to official Ukrainian sources.
Serhii Lysak, head of the military administration of the Dnipropetrovsk region, said on Telegram that air defenses shot down three cruise missiles over the city, but there were also “revenues.”
“Civilian facilities were damaged,” he said, adding that 19 of the injured were hospitalized.
“There was a massive missile attack on Kryvyi Rih. The Russians carried out another terrorist attack in the residential sector, overnight. This was insidious. Cruel,” Lysak said earlier on Telegram.
The city’s mayor, Oleksandr Vilkul, stated that a five-story apartment building had been hit and that there were probably victims trapped under the rubble.
“Apartments from the first to the fifth floor are burning. The fire has covered 700 square meters. Rescue teams are extinguishing it,” the mayor said in an update.
Four people were also injured elsewhere in the city where a building and a car caught fire, it added.
The mayor also reported Russian shelling in the nearby Nikopol district overnight.
Zelensky on the attacks: In a Telegram message, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky offered his condolences to the victims.
“More terrorist missiles, Russian killers continue their war once morest residential buildings, ordinary cities and people,” he said. “Unfortunately, there are dead and injured. The rescue operation in Kryvyi Rih continues. My condolences to all who have lost their loved ones. The terrorists will never be forgiven and will be held accountable for every missile they launch.”
