Today, on July 31, the Russians attacked Kryvyi Rih using ballistic missiles Iskander. The launch was carried out from the temporarily occupied city of Dzhankoy, according to the evening statement of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The head of the state revealed that the occupiers fired two Iskander missiles in total toward Kryvyi Rih.
"According to preliminary data of our military, these two missiles were fired at Kryvyi Rih from the territory of the temporarily occupied Crimea, from the area of Dzhankoy," emphasized Zelenskyy.
