Russian missile attack kills 4 in Ukraine

A Russian missile attack on Friday killed no fewer than four people and partially destroyed an educational facility in the city of Kryvyi Rih in southern-central Ukraine.

The governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region, Serhiy Lysak, disclosed this on Friday on Telegram, adding that at least seven others were hurt while some of them seriously injured.

โ€œEach such terrorist attack is another reminder of who we are dealing with. Russia will not stop on its own; it can only be stopped by joint pressure,โ€ President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who was born in Kryvyi Rih, said on Telegram.

According to Lysak, two five-storey buildings were also damaged and one caught fire.

It was gathered that several explosions reverberated through the city, after Ukraineโ€™s air force warned of the threat of a ballistic missile attack from Russia-occupied Crimea.

Russia, which began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine almost three years ago, is yet to comment on the reports from Kryvyi Rih.
