One particular person was killed and 11 have been wounded by a ballistic missile strike on an residence block within the central Ukrainian metropolis of Kryvyi Rih, native officers stated on Tuesday, and Kyiv condemned the Christmas eve assault.
“The monsters landed a direct hit on a four-storey residential block with 32 apartments,” the pinnacle of the town’s army administration, Oleksandr Vilkul, wrote on Telegram.
One man whose physique had been pulled from below the rubble couldn’t be revived by medics, regional governor Serhiy Lysak stated.
“While other countries of the world are celebrating Christmas, Ukrainians are continuing to suffer from endless Russian attacks,” Ukraine’s human rights ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets wrote on Telegram.
Governor Lysak posted pictures of rescuers trawling via a big pile of rubble, recovering an individual coated in mud and loading them into an ambulance.
“There may still be people under the rubble,” he wrote shortly earlier than 18:00 native time (1600 GMT), greater than two hours after the strike.
Kryvyi Rih, the hometown of Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, is a steelmaking metropolis with a pre-war inhabitants of greater than 600,000.
Its southern outskirts lie about 40 miles (65 km) from the closest Russian-occupied territory, and it has commonly been the goal of Russian missile assaults all through the conflict.
Russia says it doesn’t intentionally goal civilians, though 1000’s have been killed since Moscow launched its invasion in 2022.
