Russia's attack on Kryvyi Rih

On April 4, Russian forces shelled Kryvyi Rih in the Dnipropetrovsk region twice. The city was first attacked by an Iskander ballistic missile and then by drones. Until recently, reports indicated 68 injured and 19 killed.

A three-day mourning period has been declared in Kryvyi Rih for the victims, from April 7 to 9. The ballistic missile exploded in the air above residential buildings in the city's sleeping district. This resulted in a larger area being affected, and consequently, more casualties.
