Russian missile strikes Zelenskyy’s home city: Ukrainian authorities

A Russian ballistic missile struck Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s hometown Kryvyi Rih on Friday, local authorities said.
The missile struck near a children’s playground in a residential area, Oleksandr Vilkul, the head of Kryvyi Rih’s military administration said. Eighteen people were killed, of which nine were children, and 61 others were injured. 
“This is the kind of pain you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy,” Dnipropetrovsk regional governor Sergiy Lysak said on Telegram.
Vilkul said the community would mourn the victims.
 “On 7, 8 and 9 April, days of mourning will be declared in Kryvyi Rig for those killed as a result of yesterday’s terrorist attacks on our city by the killer country,” he said.
“Children, families, the elderly… Ballistic missile and shakedown attacks on residential areas and playgrounds… This is nothing less than a mass murder of civilians,” he added.
Russia’s defense ministry said it had struck a restaurant “where commanders of formations and Western instructors were meeting.” It also said Russian air defense had destroyed 49 Ukrainian drones on the same night.
