Russian Missile Strikes Ukrainian President’s Hometown Amid Mourning

Date:

A Russian missile struck President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s hometown of Kryvyi Rih on Wednesday, local authorities reported, as the city observed an official day of mourning for four civilians killed in an attack the previous day.

The latest strike hit civilian infrastructure, wounding eight people, according to Oleksandr Vilkul, head of the local administration. “When Kryvyi Rih is in mourning, the enemy attacks again. And it once again aims at civilians,” regional governor Serhii Lysak said.

This attack follows a broader Russian assault on Monday, when over 100 missiles and a similar number of drones were launched across Ukraine in what officials described as the most extensive bombardment in weeks.

The intensified bombing campaign coincides with critical developments in the war. Russian forces are advancing deeper into the partly occupied Donetsk region, a key Kremlin objective. Simultaneously, Ukraine has launched incursions into Russia’s Kursk region, marking the largest breach of Russian soil since World War II.

In Kryvyi Rih, rescue operations at the hotel struck on Tuesday concluded after a final body was recovered from the rubble. The attack had killed four and wounded five.

Ukraine claimed to have shot down a Russian Su-25 jet in the Donetsk region and continued its long-range drone attacks on Russian logistics areas. Ukraine’s military intelligence took responsibility for striking an oil depot in Russia’s Rostov region, while drones also reportedly hit an oil depot in the Kirov region, about 950 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.
