Russian missile attack kills 10 in Ukrainian President Zelensky’s hometown

At least 10 people were killed in a Russian missile attack that hit an apartment building and a warehouse in Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s hometown of Kryvyi Rih on Tuesday (June 13). Four people were killed in the apartment block and six in the warehouse, local authorities said. Body bags with the remains of the people killed in the apartment block were laying on the ground next to a children’s playground. One person was still trapped under rubble and 28 were injured, with 12 of them being treated in hospital, authorities said. Municipal workers and residents began clearing rubble and smashed glass outside the building to prevent further injuries. Zelenskiy, who was born in Kryvyi Rih, condemned the attack in a Telegram post, saying: “Russian killers continue their war against residential buildings, ordinary cities and people.“ Russia did not immediately comment on the attack. It has repeatedly struck cities across Ukraine since its full-scale invasion in February 2022, though it denies targeting civilians.
