On the evening of April 4, Kryvyi Rih was hit by a massive strike from Russia. Law enforcement officials released a video after the Russian missile attack, according to Oleksii Biloshytskyi, First Deputy Head of the Patrol Police Department of Ukraine.
Yesterday, according to Biloshytskyi, the target of the Russian forces in Kryvyi Rih was children. He noted that it was a typical spring evening when people were returning from work, preparing dinner, or playing with their children outside. At that moment, the terrorists launched a missile at the center of the district, striking near a playground and leaving no chance for those nearby.
"We (the Patrol Police -ed.) immediately arrived at the scene and saw real hell: dead civilians, children. We provided first aid to those who could still be helped. We ensured unhindered passage for emergency services," he remarked.
He reported that as a result of the missile strike, residential buildings, cars, and schools were damaged.
"Eighteen people were killed, including nine children. Over 60 people were injured. This was not enough for the enemy. A few hours later, a swarm of Shaheds struck Kryvyi Rih. One of them hit a private house, taking the life of an elderly woman," concluded the First Deputy Head of the Patrol Police Department.
