Air defense shoots down Russian cruise missile over Kryvyi Rih
The Eastern Military Command shot down a Russian missile over Kryvyi Rih in Dnipro Oblast, as reported by the head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration Serhiy Lysak in Telegram on Feb. 8.
Kryvyi Rih mayor Yuriy Vilkul added that explosions were heard in the city.
"No details, but everything is fine," he wrote.
Previously, the Air Forces warned of a missile threat to several oblasts of Ukraine. Later, the military wrote that the Russians had launched an aircraft missile, presumably an X-59, in the direction of Kryvyi Rih.
Earlier, on Feb. 3, Russian drones struck an energy infrastructure facility in Kryvyi Rih, prompting emergency blackouts in the city. During one day, power was restored.
Ukrenergo later reported that the attack on the city's energy infrastructure was one of the most massive attacks on the energy sector in a year.
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.
