Four people were killed and nine others injured in a Russian attack in the Kryvyi Rih region of eastern Ukraine today.

The governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region said via telegram that ‘rescue operations after the Russian attack in Kryvyi Rih have been completed, and the attack resulted in the death of four people and the injury of nine others, five of whom were taken to hospital’, noting that doctors were providing first aid to other injured people at the scene.

Since the outbreak of the military operation in Ukraine in 2014, there have been conflicting reports on the scale of casualties suffered by both sides in the crisis.
