A 5-storey building was destroyed. Preliminary reports indicate that three of its residents have been killed. 25 people were injured, 19 of them are in hospital. There are still people under the rubble.
Apartments from the ground to the fourth floors are on fire. The fire has covered 700 square metres. Firefighters are containing it."
More details: Lysak also reported three injuries to people at a private company, all of whom were hospitalised.
He added that there are probably people under the rubble of the smashed warehouse, and rescue workers are looking for them. Six cars were damaged.
In addition, 4 more people were injured at another location. A building and a car were on fire there, and the fire has been extinguished.
A car company also sustained damage, causing a truck to catch fire and destroying an outbuilding.
"The rescue unit was also damaged," Lysak added.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy posted a video from Kryvyi Rih.
"My condolences to all those who lost their loved ones! There will never be forgiveness for terrorists, and they will be held accountable for every missile they launch," he wrote.
Updated: At 08:50, Oleksandr Vikul, Head of the Kryvyi Rih Defence Council, said that there were 6 missiles at night, 5 hits that have nothing to do with military facilities, among them an apartment building and a grocery warehouse.
It was revealed that there are 3 dead, 25 wounded, including 10 in a critical and 3 in an extremely critical condition. Another 7 people are most likely under the rubble.
Vilkul said that people who have lost their homes are being resettled.
A headquarters has been set up opposite the destroyed building on the ground and first floors of a school, where citizens can register for resettlement, receive aid, register for financial assistance, declare damaged property, register for the restoration of documents, and so on. Hot food will also be provided.
