Kryvyi Rih metropolitan area

Three individuals, including a 12-year-old boy, were killed in Russian strikes on a residential area of Kryvyi Rih, according to Unian reports. Authorities fear there may be more victims trapped under the rubble.

Ukrainian authorities issued new air raid alerts across the country on Tuesday as Russian bombers took to the skies, a day after Moscow carried out a "massive" attack on Ukraine's power grid.

Russia fired hundreds of drones and missiles at Ukraine on Monday, killing at least four people and battering the country's already weakened energy grid, triggering blackouts, officials said.

The city of Kharkiv, Ukraine, was shaken by a series of explosions this morning, with Mayor Igor Terekhov confirming about 15 blasts. Initial assessments suggest that Russian missile strikes deliberately targeted the city's power infrastructure, resulting in a partial blackout and disrupting essential services.

The aftermath of the harrowing Russian missile attack on the Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih continues to unfold, with the toll of casualties steadily rising. In a grim update, it has been reported that a 47-year-old woman, wounded in the onslaught, has tragically succumbed to her injuries.
