Russian strike drones attacked Kryvyi Rih, damaging apartment high-rises and private homes while injuring at least five people, regional officials reported on Sept. 10.
Overnight into Sept. 10, Russian forces launched attack drones at the city of Kryvyi Rih. The strikes damaged multi-story apartment buildings, detached houses, educational facilities, cultural centers, and commercial establishments.
As of 6:46 a.m., the casualty count in Kryvyi Rih rose to five wounded civilians, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Military Administration Head Oleksandr Hanzha reported.
"Two of them have been hospitalized. A 42-year-old man is in critical condition, and a 41-year-old man is in moderate condition. Medical teams are providing all necessary care," Hanzha stated.
At 1:57 a.m., head of the Kryvyi Rih Defense Council Oleksandr Vilkul reported that Russian troops targeted five distinct locations across Tsentralno-Miskyi and Saksahanskyi districts with loitering munitions.
According to Vilkul, direct hits were recorded within residential neighborhoods, and firefighters worked to contain active blazes at two separate sites while search-and-rescue teams operated on the ground.
The attack follows a series of lethal Russian strikes against the city:
Aug. 27: Russian forces launched a ballistic missile strike against Kryvyi Rih, damaging an industrial enterprise and wounding at least two people.
Aug. 21: At approximately 4:30 p.m., two Russian strike drones hit the city's largest shopping mall, Sonyachna Halereya, killing 16 civilians and injuring 140 others.
Aug. 24–25: Following the mall strike, emergency crews conducted search-and-rescue operations among the ruins for four days, combing through roughly 5,000 square meters of rubble.
Criminal inquiry: Minister of Internal Affairs Ivan Vyhivskyi confirmed that criminal charges were filed against a supermarket director inside the mall for failing to heed mandatory air raid safety protocols, noting that the facility remained operational during alerts and accounted for a significant number of the casualties.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
