Russian Missile Strike Hits Kryvyi Rih, Casualties Rise to Nine

Recent missile strikes by Russian forces on Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine, have resulted in multiple casualties, including the death of a woman riding a trolleybus. The attacks, which involved Iskander-M ballistic missiles, occurred in a residential area and targeted civilian infrastructure, prompting local authorities to establish relief centers for affected residents. Reports indicate that a total of nine people were injured, with several requiring hospitalization. The strikes have raised concerns about the ongoing conflict as they coincide with Ukraine's acceptance of a U.S. ceasefire proposal, suggesting a potential escalation in hostilities aimed at undermining peace efforts. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's hometown has been a recurring target, reflecting the strategic message of the attacks. As the situation unfolds, officials urge residents to remain vigilant and stay in shelters due to the possibility of further strikes.
