Russia has already killed 20 citizens in Kryvyi Rih
This was reported by the head of the Kryvyi Rih Defense Council, Oleksandr Vilkul.
Sadly, the death toll from the Russian terrorist attack on April 4 has risen to 20. A 57-year-old man died in hospital from multiple wounds.
According to him, doctors did everything they could around the clock, but the man's injuries were incompatible with life.
As a reminder, on the evening of April 4, the Russian Federation army launched a missile strike on Kryvyi Rih. The occupiers used a rocket with cluster munitions for the attack, which explodes before reaching the ground. This increases the radius of the attack.
The Russians attacked a residential area, including a children's playground. More than 70 people were injured.
The Russian strike on Kryvyi Rih, which killed nine children, was the largest killing of children in the entire war, said UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk.
It is an incredible horror — nine children died, most of them playing in a park when a shrapnel-laden weapon exploded above them. On a warm Friday evening in Kryvyi Rih, as families gathered near a playground, a restaurant, and residential buildings, a single explosion killed 18 people.
