At least 16 dead, including 6 children, in Russian missile strike on Zelensky's hometown, say Ukrainian authorities

A Russian missile strike on the Ukrainian president’s hometown of Kryvyi Rih on Friday killed at least 16 people, including six children, according to Ukrainian authorities. The strike also injured over 50 people.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky offered his condolences to the families of those killed and injured in his nightly address soon afterward.

“Many injured, houses damaged. The missile actually hit the area next to residential buildings – a children’s playground, ordinary streets,” Zelensky said.

Russia also targeted a power plant in Kherson with a drone on Friday, Zelensky said.

… launches an attack should expect a lethal response. Maybe this will fire up the same team
that bombed Putin’s limo last week to keep after it. The man needs to be gone.
