Regional Governor Serhiy Lysak announced this on Telegram. According to the report, two children were also killed in the attack on a residential area in the birthplace of President Volodymyr Zelensky. At least 50 people were injured. According to Lysak, cars and garages caught fire. Multi-story residential buildings were damaged.

Just on Wednesday, at least four people were killed by a Russian missile strike in the city. Kryvyi Rih is located about 70 kilometers from the front line. The attacks come against the backdrop of stalled ceasefire negotiations in Ukraine.

US President Donald Trump had just this weekend publicly expressed his displeasure with Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin and criticized him for not recognizing Zelensky's legitimacy.
