Strikes on Dnipropetrovsk region

Recall that on July 4, Russian forces struck Kryvyi Rih in the Dnipropetrovsk region. The shelling caused a large fire and power outages in the city, with casualties reported.

All currently known details about the aftermath of the attack on Kryvyi Rih can be found in the RBC-Ukraine report.

In the evening, the occupiers struck the city again, causing another fire.

A large-scale fire broke out at the impact site, and social media quickly suggested that a KAB (guided bomb) might have hit the city for the first time.

RBC-Ukraine reported on what Russia might have used to strike Kryvyi Rih and why it was unlikely to be a KAB.

It is worth noting that the State Emergency Service released photos showing the damage caused by the enemy strike on the city.
