KYIV (Reuters) – A Russian missile hit a residential building in Kryvyi Rih in central Ukraine on Monday, injuring at least seven people, with more trapped under the rubble, officials said.
A 10-year-old girl and a boy of 11 years were among the injured, regional governor Serhiy Lysak said on the Telegram messenger.
The attack destroyed apartments from the first to the fifth floors, he added.
The building’s smashed roof and collapsed floors covered in smoke could be seen on images shared by officials. Cars parked outside had been buried.
“Every day, every night, Russia unleashes the same terror. More and more civilian objects are being targeted. Russia only wants to continue the war, and each of its strikes negates any claims of diplomacy from Russia,” President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on X.
He released a fresh appeal to allies for weapons supplies and “stronger global support” to repel Russian aggression.
