Russian missiles hit apartment block and Ukrainian security service building in Dnipro
Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky has condemned Russia’s “terror” attacks on his hometown of Kryvyi Rih that left four people, including a 10-year-old child, dead.
“Regions of Ukraine are being shelled by the occupiers, who continue to terrorise peaceful cities and people,” Mr Zelensky wrote on X - formerly Twitter. “Unfortunately, there are dead and wounded. There may be people under the rubble. My condolences to all those who have lost their loved ones because of Russian terror.”
The deputy head of Volodymyr Zelensky’s office, Oleksiy Kuleba also confirmed one person had died in Kherson.
Calling for revenge, Mr Kuleba wrote on the Telegram messaging app: “The enemy is hitting settlements and cities. This is terror due to the despair and defeat of the Russian Federation at the front. This is terror to intimidate and break Ukrainians.
Both sides reported casualties on Monday amid heavy fighting, as Ukraine reported it had recaptured nearly 15 square km (5.8 square miles) of land from Russian troops in the east and south over the last week.
The Russian-installed head of Ukraine’s Donetsk region said that two people had been killed and four injured in Ukrainian shelling of Donetsk city, the regional capital.
