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.

“Five people were injured in Kryvyi Rih. Four men - 29, 41, 44 and 60 years old. They have shrapnel wounds, bruises, and acupuncture injuries. All are in moderate condition in the hospital,” he wrote.

“Among the victims is a 54-year-old woman. She will recover at home,” the official added.

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.

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.
