A day after Volodymyr Zelensky said war was “returning to Russia” with an attempted drone strike on Moscow, the Kremlin launched a deadly airstrike against the Ukraine president’s hometown of Kryvyi Rih
At least six people were killed and another 75 were wounded when a pair of ballistic missiles struck a school building and residential tower in the central Ukrainian city. Among the dead are a 5-year-old girl. Zelensky said more than 350 were involved in the rescue operation. Emergency services personnel were still searching for survivors under the rubble as of Monday afternoon.
Moscow has repeatedly denied targeting civilian infrastructure, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. On Monday, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said the Kremlin would intensify its attacks in response to Kyiv’s attempted drone strikes against Moscow the previous day that damaged a business and shopping development in the west of the capital.
