Three killed in Russian attack on Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine says

Moscow, Sept 21, (dpa/GNA) – At least three people, including a 12-year-old boy, have been killed in renewed Russian missile attacks on the southern Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih, local authorities said Saturday.

Another three people were injured, the governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region, Serhiy Lyssak, wrote on Telegram.

The attack, which involved Iskander-M missiles as well as guided missiles, took place overnight, he said.

Lyssak also published several images of houses lying in ruins.

The search for survivors was ongoing, the governor said.

Kryvyi Rih is an industrial city and the birth place of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. It has repeatedly been the target of Russian attacks in the war launched by Moscow more than two and a half years ago.

Several regions across Ukraine reported Russian air raids overnight.

The Ukrainian air defence put the number of total attacks at 25. Five missiles and 11 drones were intercepted, it said.
