At Least 2 Killed, 5 Injured By Russian Missile In Zelenskyy’s Ukrainian Home City

Russia battered much of Ukraine on Monday, firing scores of missiles and drones that killed four people, injured more than a dozen and damaged energy facilities. The barrage of over 100 missiles and a similar number of drones began around midnight and continued through daybreak in what appeared to be Russia’s biggest onslaught in weeks. The Ukrainian State Emergency Service said Tuesday two people were killed and another five were injured after a Kryvyi Rih hotel was hit by a Russian missile overnight. The Service reported that the rocket hit the hotel at midnight, partially destroying the four-story building in the city in central Ukraine. Search and rescue operations were ongoing Tuesday with reportedly two more people under the rubble. The strike on Zelenskyy’s hometown, which has been hit in the past, followed a heavy barrage that struck energy facilities throughout the country the day before. One person was also killed in the partially occupied Zaporizhzhia region in the southeast, local officials said. Footage from the Emergency Service in Zaporizhzhia showed search and rescue teams digging a person out of the rubble of a partially destroyed building. In the Kyiv region, which had struggled with blackouts after Monday’s onslaught, five air alerts were called during the night. The regional administration said air defenses destroyed all the drones and missiles that Russia fired, but that falling debris set off forest fires. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described Monday’s barrage of more than 100 missiles and a similar number of drones as “vile.” The strikes hit civilian infrastructure and most of the country was targeted, he said. In Russia, meanwhile, officials reported four Ukrainian missiles were shot down over the Kursk region, where Russian forces are fighting Ukrainian troops that made a surprise incursion this month. The fighting in the region has raised concerns about the nuclear power plant there. International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi said he would visit the plant Tuesday. #RussiaUkraineWar, #MissileAttack, #Zelenskyy, #Ukraine, #CivilianCasualties, #WarZone, #EasternEurope, #Geopolitics, #InternationalRelations, #WarCrimes, #HumanitarianCrisis, #UkrainianConflict.
