The Russian army has hit Krivói Rog, the hometown of the president of Ukraine (600,000 inhabitants before the war), in the center of the country. At least one ballistic missile has impacted this Friday afternoon in a residential area of this industrial and mining city, according to the regional governor, Sergii Lisak. “Another attack on the scum that fights the civilian population,” he said in a message on his Telegram profile in relation to the Russian attack. According to the still provisional balance offered by Lisak, at least 18 people lost their lives, including nine minors, and more than 50 were injured. “The Russians attack every day. People die every day. There is only one reason why this continues: Russia does not want fire,” Zelenski said in a statement.
The massacre, occurred on the same day in which, precisely, the NATO Foreign Ministers, gathered in Brussels, after the negotiations and the high fire for the energy sector and the agreed sea on the paper on March 25. “The United States, Europe and all other countries in the world have sufficient capacity to force Russia to abandon terrorism and war,” said Zelenski. “And this is what to guarantee: peace is needed.”
Together with his writing, President Ukraine has published several photographs of the horror caused by the Russian projectile on a residential area of Krivói Rog. In one of the images you see the body of an adult next to a bank and the swings of a park. The emergency services went to the area to quell the fires caused by the impact of the missile, which damaged several housing buildings. It is not ruled out that the dead of the dead can increase in the next few hours. It is also one of the attacks with more children among fatalities in these 1,137 days of great Russian offensive.
In a second message recorded and published in his Telegram profile, Zelenski, from the presidential headquarters and in a especially felt and hard tone, has stated that the Russian missile had fallen on “common streets” of his hometown. “Anyone who is able to do this is simply inhuman, scoundrel,” said President Ukraine in his writing. “There is not a single word of decency in this Russian scum.”
This Friday’s bombing is the second that causes fatalities this week over Krivói Rog, located about 70 kilometers from the Eastern War Front. On Wednesday, another Russian attack on the city ended the lives of four people and caused serious injuries to another 14, including a six -year -old girl and a child under eight. Last March, it was a hotel in the center of the city that opened with rennet due to the impact of a missile that destroyed the property from top to bottom. That offensive resulted in two fatalities and about thirty injured, including minors.
In the last 24 hours, anti -aircraft alerts have resonated throughout the country before the imminence of a bombardment with missiles or bomb drones. During the early hours of this Friday, the Russian army has launched 78 drones against several regions of Ukraine. Of these devices, 42 were intercepted by the anti -aircraft defenses, according to kyiv’s records, for another 22 useless through electronic methods. The impact of a wave of six not destroyed drones killed at least five people in the Novobavarskii district, in the province of Járkov, in the east of the country, in the LINDE with Russian territory. Also this Friday, an unmanned device has hit a thermal power plant in the province of Jersón.
During the invasion initiated in February 2022, more than 12,700 civilians have died and more than 30,000 have been injured. The real figures are higher by not including victims in territory occupied by Russian troops in eastern Ukraine.
