Four killed in Russian attack on Zelensky’s home city

KHARKIV: A Russian ballistic missile strike killed at least four people and wounded nine others in Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s home city of Kryvyi Rig on Wednesday, authorities said.

The strike followed an overnight drone barrage on the regions of Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv, which killed one and wounded a dozen others, according to officials.

The head of Kryvyi Rig’s military administration, Oleksandr Vikul, said Russia attacked civilian infrastructure with a ballistic missile, sparking a large fire, and that a rescue operation was underway. An unverified social media video from the scene showed fire and smoke rising from a damaged industrial building and debris laying around.

“The death toll in Kryvyi Rig has risen to four,” Dnipropetrovsk regional governor Sergiy Lysak said.
