Soon, Oleksandr Vilkul, the head of the city's defense council, said "air defense worked successfully. Target hit."

Yevhen Sitnichenko, the head of the regional military administration wrote "everything is okay" and thanked air defense troops.

Russian troops hit Kryvyi Rih on Aug. 28, destroying two summer homes and damaging five. No one was injured.

Kryvyi Rih, the hometown of President Volodymyr Zelensky, is located 70 kilometers north of the front line.

Independent journalism needs a community —
not a paywall.

We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all.

Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?

Can we reach 20,000 members?
