Russian strikes on Kropyvnytskyi killed three civilians and injured six, Regional Military Administration head Andrii Raykovych reported late on Oct. 14.
In an updated briefing issued at 1:23 a.m., Raykovych confirmed that the death toll had climbed to three. Six other residents sustained wounds of varying severity.
"Five victims are undergoing treatment in municipal medical facilities. One individual declined hospitalization," Raykovych stated, expressing condolences to the families of the victims.
Raykovych underscored that Russian forces deliberately targeted logistics hubs, transportation depots, and industrial enterprises. The regional governor urged residents to observe strict operational security and refrain from uploading any photos or video footage showing the locations and consequences of incoming strikes.
Correspondents for public broadcaster Suspilne reported a series of powerful detonations echoing across the city. In the regional center, one strike impacted the courtyard of a multi-story apartment building, shattering windows and damaging civilian vehicles parked outside.
Shockwaves and debris damaged several private residential homes in the city's suburbs.
