A total of eight people have died, including two girls aged 5 and 12, in various regions of Ukraine on Thursday morning due to a massive missile and drone attack carried out by Russia against Kyiv and other cities in the country.
The largest number of victims occurred near Kryvyi Rih, the hometown of the country's president Volodymyr Zelensky, where, since the beginning of the war between both countries, many of its inhabitants have fled due to the attacks. As for Kyiv, one person also died, as well as in the Poltava region, an area located in central Ukraine.
According to Oleksandr Vilkul, military governor of the city, an 'Iskander-M' ballistic missile directly hit the house where a large family lived. Vilkul has not yet clarified whether all the victims were from the same family.
The Russian attack also targeted Poltava Lviv, a region bordering Poland and located in the westernmost part of Ukraine. In this case, numerous residential areas were affected, and at least six people were injured.
