On the night of September 12, Russian forces launched a ballistic strike on an industrial facility in Kryvyi Rih. One person was killed in the attack, and two others were injured, according to the Head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration Oleksandr Hanzha and Head of the Kryvyi Rih Defense Council Oleksandr Vilkul.

Vilkul was the first to report ballistic strikes on Kryvyi Rih. "Stay alert until the all-clear. More ballistic missile launches," he wrote, warning city residents that the threat was continuing.

The consequences soon became known - a missile struck an industrial facility in the city.

One person was killed and two others were injured in the ballistic attack.

According to Vilkul, another man is considered missing.

In addition to the ballistic strike overnight, Kryvyi Rih was also attacked by strike UAVs toward morning.

Two injured men, aged 54 and 58, sustained serious injuries: one is in moderate condition, while the other is in serious condition. Both were taken to hospital and are currently in the operating room, where doctors are providing them with all necessary medical assistance.

The strikes also damaged five apartment buildings, a primary healthcare center, three educational institutions and business facilities. Information on the consequences is still being clarified.

A relief center for residents will open in the city at 8:00 a.m. at the same school as last time. Residents can file applications for financial assistance from the city, receive construction materials, and municipal crews will help those who need it.

We remind you that just two days earlier, on September 10, Russia launched a massive drone attack on Kryvyi Rih - fires broke out at residential buildings, educational institutions and business facilities, and two people were injured.

Last month, the occupiers struck a shopping center in Kryvyi Rih - more than 50 people were injured and five were killed.

Earlier, on August 15, the enemy launched a missile strike on the city - a fire also broke out, power outages were reported in Kryvyi Rih, and there were casualties.
