Sixty-one people were injured, the Dnipropetrovsk Rregional Governor Sergiy Lysak said Saturday (April 5, 2025) after emergency operations were completed overnight.
The missile struck a residential area near a children's playground on Friday (April 4), according to Oleksandr Vilkul, the head of Kryvyi Rig's military administration.
Unverified videos on social media appeared to show bodies lying on a street, while another showed a plume of smoke rising into the evening sky.
Social media video from the scene showed a car in flames, while people could be heard shouting.
"18... that is how many people were killed by the Russians when they launched a missile at Kryvyi Rig. Among them were nine children," Lysak said on Telegram.
