A Russian missile attack on Friday killed no fewer than four people and partially destroyed an educational facility in the city of Kryvyi Rih in southern-central Ukraine.
The governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region, Serhiy Lysak, disclosed this on Friday on Telegram, adding that at least seven others were hurt while some of them seriously injured.
“Each such terrorist attack is another reminder of who we are dealing with. Russia will not stop on its own; it can only be stopped by joint pressure,” President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who was born in Kryvyi Rih, said on Telegram.
According to Lysak, two five-storey buildings were also damaged and one caught fire.
It was gathered that several explosions reverberated through the city, after Ukraine’s air force warned of the threat of a ballistic missile attack from Russia-occupied Crimea.
Russia, which began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine almost three years ago, is yet to comment on the reports from Kryvyi Rih.

Palmer played all 90 minutes in their last fixture, scoring as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Bournemouth.
However, Maresca has now said he does not know when the England midfielder will be available to train again.
He told reporters on Friday: “Cole [Palmer] is a doubt,.
“He was not in the session today. Levi [Colwill] was not in the session, Romeo [Lavia] and Enzo [Fernandez] were not involved.
“Cole didn’t train today, we don’t know if he will train in the next two days.”
On captain Reece James, who also scored against Bournemouth, Maresca added: “For Reece [James], it’s not about if he scores goals, or how many minutes.
“It’s about managing his situation.
“For sure, if he plays 45 minutes it means he can be ready. But we don’t want an injury again.
“We are trying to help him and we will do the same in this moment.”
