Earlier, Lysak reported eight victims. In addition to the five previously reported, two more people - a 64-year-old man and a 29-year-old man - were hospitalized. An 18-year-old boy will receive outpatient treatment.

“A garage cooperative in the city was damaged, along with 12 cars. Windows in a hotel were also smashed,” wrote Lysak.

We will provide assistance with building materials, OSB film, nails and more. If necessary, we will provide assistance in resettlement, medical and psychological,” he wrote.

“A missile hit a civilian infrastructure facility. Ambulances have already taken four people to the hospital. All emergency and utility services are working,” he wrote.

At 10:48 a.m., Vilkul reported the explosion and urged the townspeople not to film or post anything on the Internet. In turn, Lysak reported three victims.

“When Kryvyi Rih is in mourning, the enemy attacks again. And once again they are targeting civilians. So far, we know about 3 victims,” he wrote.

“The city's infrastructure and cars were damaged. There was also a fire,” the official added.

  • Three people were killed and another person is missing following a missile attack by the occupying Russian army on Kryvyi Rih on the night of August 27.
