Russian forces struck a residential building in the Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih, killing at least two people, the region's governor confirmed. The attack is the latest in a series of strikes targeting populated areas across Ukraine, underscoring the ongoing danger faced by civilians far from the front lines.
Kryvyi Rih, a major industrial city located in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast in central-southern Ukraine, has endured repeated Russian strikes throughout the conflict. The city holds strategic and symbolic significance — it is also the hometown of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The strike on a residential building follows a broader pattern of Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure that Ukrainian officials and international observers have repeatedly condemned as violations of international humanitarian law. Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, while not directly on the front line, has remained a frequent target as Russian forces continue to extend their bombardment deeper into Ukrainian territory. Casualty figures may rise as emergency services assess the damage.
