The Russian forces targeted Kryvyi Rih with a ballistic missile.

On April 4, Russian troops launched a strike on Kryvyi Rih using the «Iskander-M» ballistic missile, equipped with a cluster munition designed to impact a larger area and affect more people.

The strike targeted the center of a residential neighborhood, close to a playground.

“Ballistic strike in the center of a residential area, near a playground... The missile exploded in the air to maximize casualties,” wrote Oleksandr Vilkul, head of the city defense council.

Nearly two dozen apartment buildings, 6 educational institutions, a restaurant, and over 30 vehicles were destroyed.
