KHARKIV (AFP) — A Russian ballistic missile strike killed at least four people and wounded 17 others in Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s home city of Kryvyi Rig on Wednesday, authorities said.
The head of Kryvyi Rig’s military administration, Oleksandr Vikul, said Russia attacked civilian infrastructure with a ballistic missile, sparking a large fire, and that a rescue operation was under way.
The strike followed an overnight Tuesday drone barrage on the regions of Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv, which together killed one and injured at least seven others, according to officials.
A 45-year-old man was killed when a Russian drone strike hit cars parked outside a house in Zaporizhzhia, the head of the region’s military administration Ivan Federov said on Telegram early Wednesday.
In Kharkiv, five people were wounded in drone strikes, the head of the Kharkiv regional state administration Oleg Syniegubov said.
An Agence France-Presse reporter saw firefighters hosing down a building in Kharkiv, where a blaze was raging and black smoke billowed from windows.
Meanwhile, Russia’s defense ministry said it intercepted and destroyed 23 Ukrainian drones overnight Wednesday, mostly over the Bryansk, Oryol and Kursk regions.
