Russian troops attacked a residential area in Kryvyi Rih in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast with ballistic missiles injuring at least 12 people, Governor Serhii Lysak said. Two boys, aged 2 and 15, are among the wounded.
Explosions in Kryvyi Rih were reported almost immediately after the Air Force said on March 14 that Russia had launched missiles.
The Russian attack damaged four apartment buildings and four houses along with an undetermined number of business facilities.
Six people were hospitalized, Lysak said.
The full consequences of the attack are yet to be determined. Emergency service workers are currently working on site.
Last week, Russia struck a hotel in Kryvyi Rih, killing six people and injuring over 30 others, including children.
Kryvyi Rih, the hometown of President Volodymyr Zelensky, remains a frequent target of Russian missile attacks. With a population of about 660,000, it is the second-largest city in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, located roughly 70 kilometers (40 miles) northwest of the nearest front line.
