A Russian missile struck a hotel in Kryvyi Rih late Wednesday, killing two people and injuring 29, with many in serious condition, local officials said.

A Russian missile hit a hotel in the central Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih late Wednesday, leaving two dead and 29 injured, local authorities reported.

Oleksandr Vilkul, head of the city's military administration, said 20 of the injured were in serious condition, and rescue operations continued past midnight.

Ukraine’s Emergency Services said 14 people were rescued from the rubble, posting images of emergency crews navigating debris outside the heavily damaged five-story building. Smoke poured from the hotel, with blown-out windows and a crane deployed to reach upper floors.

Kryvyi Rih, the hometown of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has been a frequent target since Russia's full-scale invasion began three years ago.
