A deadly Russian missile strike on Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine, resulted in at least four fatalities and considerable destruction on Friday. The attack targeted an educational facility in the southern-central city, regional governor Serhiy Lysak confirmed.

Five individuals sustained injuries, three critically, following the explosions that ignited one of two damaged five-storey buildings. The regional governor shared updates on social media platform Telegram, painting a grim picture of the aftermath.
