According to Ukrainian authorities, a missile from Russia struck a residential structure in the city of Kryvyi Rih on Tuesday, resulting in the deaths of at least three individuals and injuries to 38 others.

According to Oleksandr Vilkul, who leads the military administration in Kryvyi Rih, the attack on the building was caused by one of three missiles that struck the city. Kryvyi Rih is the hometown of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and is often subjected to Russian attacks.

Zelenskyy offered his sympathy on social media and showed gratitude to the rescue team for their support.

“Every day, our cities and villages suffer similar strikes. Every day, Ukraine loses people to Russian evil,” he wrote. “There can be no pause, not for a day, a week, let alone a month, in support for simply defending lives, for saving people from terror.”

On Tuesday, Russian authorities stated that two fuel sites in Russia were damaged by Ukrainian drone attacks, and also mentioned that Russian troops successfully defended against attempts of cross-border ground attacks by pro-Ukrainian groups.
