A Russian ballistic missile struck Kryvyi Rih, the hometown of Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, resulting in 18 fatalities, nine of whom were children. The missile targeted a residential area near a childrenâs playground, leading to 61 injuries. Local authorities expressed deep mourning, with days of remembrance declared for victims. Governor Sergiy Lysak condemned the attack, labeling it mass murder of civilians. In response, Russia's defense ministry claimed the missile struck a gathering of military personnel. The tragedy underscores the ongoing impact of the war on innocent lives.
This is the kind of pain you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy. Eighteen people were killed, including nine children, and 61 others were injured.
On 7, 8 and 9 April, days of mourning will be declared in Kryvyi Rig for those killed as a result of yesterday's terrorist attacks on our city by the killer country.
Ballistic missile and shakedown attacks on residential areas and playgrounds... This is nothing less than a mass murder of civilians.
Russia's defense ministry claimed it targeted a restaurant where commanders of formations and Western instructors were meeting, asserting justification for the strike.
