A dam struck by Russian missiles in president Volodymyr Zelensky’s home city has caused widespread flooding.
Kryvyi Rih, the largest city in central Ukraine with an estimated pre-war population of 650,000, was hit by eight cruise missiles on Wednesday, officials said.
The strikes hit the Karachunov reservoir dam, Mr Zelensky said in a video address released early on Thursday.
