Russia's recent missile and drone attacks on Ukraine resulted in casualties and widespread damage, with one fatality and at least seven injuries in Kyiv. The attacks followed a deadly strike in Kryvyi Rih, which killed 19 people, including nine children, and wounded 74 others.
The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed the Kryvyi Rih missile targeted Ukrainian and foreign military personnel. However, a UN team investigating the incident reported that a nearby restaurant frequented by beauticians was struck, and most children died while playing in a park, the deadliest single attack on children during this conflict.
President Zelensky stated that these continuous attacks demonstrate Russia's lack of commitment to ceasefire negotiations.
These attacks happened amid ongoing peace talks, escalating the conflict and raising concerns about the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine.
