April 6 marks a Day of Mourning in Ukraine for the victims of the shelling that occurred on April 4 in Kryvyi Rih.

“All cities and villages in Ukraine will observe April 6 as a Day of Mourning for the victims of the attack in Kryvyi Rih,” wrote Deputy Prime Minister for Restoration Oleksii Kuleba.

As a result of the missile strike and drone attack, 19 people lost their lives.

On Friday evening, 18 individuals were killed in the missile strike, including 9 children.

“Three-year-old Tymofii sadly passed away in the hospital on April 5. Seven-year-old Radyslav, Arina, who will forever be 7, nine-year-old Herman, and fifteen-year-olds Danylo, Mykyta, and Alina, sixteen-year-old Kostyantyn, and seventeen-year-old Nikita,” listed President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Currently, there are 75 reported injured.

37 individuals remain in hospitals, with 19 in serious condition.

The occupiers struck Kryvyi Rih on Friday evening with an Iskander ballistic missile equipped with cluster munitions, targeting the center of a residential area where a playground, café, and houses are located.

A few hours later, Russians attacked the city again with drones.

One person died, and seven were injured.

Zelenskyy called for pressure on Russia

In his evening address, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged the world to exert more pressure on Russia.

“Russia must be held accountable for its actions; we need to pressure them to truly end this war,” the president stated.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy, criticizing the U.S. for their “weak” stance regarding the missile strike on Kryvyi Rih, called for not remaining silent about the crimes of the Russians.

“To ignore that it is Russia killing children with ballistic missiles is wrong; it’s dangerous. It only encourages the scum in Moscow to continue the war and further ignore diplomacy,” he emphasized.
