Russia launched a missile strike against the city of Kryvyi Rih in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast on July 31, killing at least one person and injuring at least 10, Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko reported.

"One missile hit a four-story building of an educational institution. There are probably people under the rubble", Klymenko said.

"The second missile destroyed parts of the fourth to the ninth floors of a residential building. A fire broke out," the minister wrote on Telegram.

"As of 10:15, one person died, and 10 residents sought medical attention."

According to President Volodymyr Zelensky, residential buildings, a university building, and a crossroads in the city were hit.

Kryvyi Rih's Mayor Oleksandr Vilkul reported on explosions in the city around 9 a.m.
