Putin's missile strike kills five in Kryvyi Rih

A recent missile strike by Russian forces on the Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih resulted in the deaths of at least five individuals and injuries to over a dozen others, with reports indicating that children were forced to flee from windows amidst the chaos. The attack, which damaged residential buildings and an educational institution, coincided with news of the successful elimination of Russian Lt-Col Alexei Seliverstov by Ukrainian forces using British-supplied Storm Shadow missiles. Amidst the destruction, local volunteers have been assisting in the recovery efforts while President Zelenskyy condemned the strike as a brutal attack by the Russian military. Additionally, a separate air strike in Kyiv overnight resulted in at least four fatalities, highlighting the ongoing violence in the region. Ukrainian air defenses were reportedly active during this incident, which led to significant damage in the Shevchenkivskyi district. The conflict continues to escalate with both sides suffering casualties as military operations persist.
