In Kryvyi Rih, the death toll from a Russian attack on
residential high-rise buildings on March 12 has risen to five, the head of the
city’s Defense Council, Oleksandr Vilkul, reported on Telegram on March 13.
“Unfortunately, this is the fifth person killed in yesterday’s missile attack,” he said.
According to him, the deceased man was found while clearing the rubble on one of the floors.
On March 12, the Russian occupiers fired guided missiles - presumably X-59 - at Kryvyi Rih, hitting two residential buildings.
In the evening of March 12, a search operation was completed in Kryvyi Rih, and nine people were rescued.
44 people were injured, including ten children. The youngest victims are a two-month-old boy and an 11-month-old girl.
