The death toll from Russia’s attack on Kropyvnytskyi has increased, with emergency crews still assessing the full scale of the devastation.
The number of civilians injured in Russia’s overnight attack on the Ukrainian city of Kropyvnytskyi has risen to 14, including seven children.
Emergency response teams are actively working in the most affected districts to manage the aftermath of the strike.
Ukraine’s railway authority reported that railway infrastructure sustained damage due to the attack.
A total of 70 houses and 17 apartment buildings were affected, with one residential property nearly destroyed. Many of the damaged structures suffered shattered windows, ripped-out doors, destroyed roofs and fences, and damaged facades.
Kropyvnytskyi, home to approximately 220,000 people, serves as the administrative center of Kirovohrad Oblast in central Ukraine.
Since the start of its full-scale invasion, Russia has regularly launched drone attacks on cities across Ukraine. These attacks have intensified in recent months, with Russia deploying between 150 and 200 drones per assault.
The attack was reported as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy was speaking to reporters in an online briefing after his meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump on brokering a partial ceasefire with Russia.
