Russian strikes on Kryvyi Rih

Kryvyi Rih is perhaps the most frequently targeted city in central Ukraine by Russian forces. Even though it is far from the front line, Russia regularly strikes Kryvyi Rih with missiles, drones, and guided aerial bombs.

On the night of December 6, the Russians struck an energy facility in Kryvyi Rih. There was a sharp voltage drop on the lines supplying large pumping stations of the municipal water utility and boiler rooms of heat supply organizations.

Also, on the evening of December 3, a Russian Iskander-M ballistic missile hit an administrative building in Kryvyi Rih.

In addition, on October 26, Russian troops attacked Kryvyi Rih with guided aerial bombs, and a powerful explosion was heard in the city. An industrial enterprise was damaged by the debris.
