A missile strike in Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s home town killed at least 10 people, marking the latest escalation in Russia’s full-scale invasion as Ukraine’s army claimed its first gains in its south-eastern counteroffensive.
“More terrorist missiles, Russian killers continue their war against residential buildings, ordinary cities and people,” Zelenskyy said on Tuesday about the overnight strikes in Kryviy Rih. His posts on social media included video footage showing a five-storey apartment building ablaze and bombed-out cars in the central industrial city.
“Terrorists will never be forgiven, and they will be held accountable for every missile they launch,” Zelenskyy added.
