Nine dead in Kryvyi Rih air strike
The Russian military attacked Ukraine’s Kryvyi Rih with
ballistic missiles on June 12, killing nine people and injuring 29.
Ukrainian military and civilian officials said one missile struck an apartment building in the city. The Prosecutor General’s Office reported that five children were among the injured.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also confirmed the deadly missile strike.
“Daily and hourly, Russian terror proves that Ukraine, together with its partners, must strengthen its air defense,” said Zelenskyy.
The president expressed his condolences to the families of those killed. He noted that all first responders were working at the site.
“Modern air defense systems can ensure maximum protection for people, our cities, and our positions; we urgently need them,” he added.
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.
