The number of victims from Friday’s Russian ballistic missile and drones strike in Ukraine Kryvyi Rih increased to 19, including nine children, said the mayor of Oleksandra Vilkul on the telegram.
The attack on the residential part of the central Ukrainian city, the home city of President Volodymyr Zelenka, damaged 34 apartment buildings and shops, business facilities and cars, said the mayor. At least 68 people were injured, of which 40 were hospitalized. Rescue operations were completed overnight.
A deadly strike comes at the time of Ukrainian European allies urges Russian President Vladimir Putin to immediately answer the American proposal for a partial ceasefire that Kyiv accepted without conditions. American officials were increasingly frustrated by Russian slow through the US -conducted effort to end the three -year war.
In a rare confirmation of the strike, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated in its statement that the restaurant was hit by a meeting of “military commanders and western instructors”.
Previously, at least five people were killed on Friday and 34 injured in attacking drones on Charkiv in the northeast of Ukraine.
The Ukrainian air defense said it reduced 51 out of 92 drones overnight, with damage in the Dnipropetrov, Kiev, Nezytomira and sums. On Friday, a Russian drone also hit the thermal power plant in Kherson, Zelenka said.
“The Russians know exactly what they will hit. They know they are energy facilities that should be protected from attacks for what Russia itself promised the American side,” Zelenky said in a post on X.
The Russian Defense Ministry said its forces had reduced 49 Ukrainian drones across nine regions. The production facility was focused in Saransko in the Mordovia region, about 700 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, his governor said without details. The Channel Baza telegram said the strike was on the main plant of optical fibers and caused fire.
Power Liny was damaged in the attack of drones in the Russian region Belgorod, said the governor of the region. Bloomberg News cannot verify these claims independently.
In the middle of the strokes, some of the key western allies in Kiev call Russia to pull their feet. Moscow “Flip-Flopping” continued to strike on the Ukrainian energy infrastructure, although last month reached an agreement to stop such attacks, said French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot at the collection of Foreign Ministers in Brussels.
After promising the rapid end of Europe’s worst conflict since World War II, US President Donald Trump said last weekend that he was “very angry” with Putin. Later he turned criticism and said that he believed that the Russian leader “fulfills his part of the agreement”.
On Friday, the Kremlin denied media news that Putin and Trump were planning a telephone conversation in a few days.
