Earlier the same day, Russian forces hit an infrastructure facility near Kryvyi Rih in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Governor Serhii Lysak wrote.

Both Zaporizhzhia and Kryvyi Rih are frequent targets of Russian attacks due to their proximity to the front lines.
Kryvyi Rih, the second most populous city of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast and the hometown of President Volodymyr Zelensky, is a city in central Ukraine with a pre-war population of over 600,000.
Zaporizhzhia, a southern regional center with a population of over 700,000, lies around 35 kilometers north of the front line.
Ukraine’s counteroffensive in Zaporizhzhia Oblast has been ongoing since June to liberate the part of the region occupied by Russian troops last year.
