According to the city’s mayor, Olaksandr Vilkul, it is about six missiles that hit the city. At least six people are said to have lost their lives and 25 were injured in the attack, but more people are said to be among the racial masses. 19 people are said to have been taken to hospital and residents and injured have been evacuated to a nearby school.
“Unfortunately, there are dead and injured. The rescue work continues,” writes Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in a statement.
SVT on site
SVT’s correspondents Elin Jönsson and Lars Lyrefeldt are on site in Kryvyj Rih outside the destroyed apartment building.
– All the houses have lost their windows all around. Neighbors, people have come here and are trying to find out what’s going on, says Elin Jönsson.
Other cities also attacked
Kiev was also subjected to an air attack, but all the cruise robots must have been shot down by the air defense, according to the capital’s military command.
According to Ukrainian authorities, Kharkiv in the north was also attacked by Iranian-made Shahed drones. It is unclear what injuries were caused.
