Russian Missile Attack on Zelensky’s Hometown
A day after the Ukrainian President announced that the war had reached Russian soil, the Russian military launched a missile attack on a residential building in Kryvyi Rih, the hometown of Volodymyr Zelensky.
On Monday, July 31, Ukraine’s Ministry of Internal Affairs announced that at least four people were killed and 43 others were injured in this missile attack.
Ihor Klymenko, Ukraine’s Minister of Internal Affairs, wrote on his Telegram channel that the Russians targeted the city with two missiles, one of which destroyed several floors of a residential building.
According to other Ukrainian officials, a 10-year-old child was among the dead, and the second missile targeted an educational institution.
Volodymyr Zelensky, the President of Ukraine, condemned Russian terrorism on his Facebook account and wrote that they attacked residential buildings, a university building, and an intersection. Unfortunately, there are casualties and injuries, and there may be people trapped under the rubble.
In mid-June, this city, which is Zelensky’s hometown, was also targeted by a Russian attack, resulting in 12 deaths.
