Russian strike on Ukraine leader's home city kills four

A Russian ballistic missile
strike killed at least four people and wounded 17 others in Ukrainian
President Volodymyr Zelensky's home city of Kryvyi Rig on Wednesday,
authorities said.

The strike followed an overnight Tuesday drone barrage on the regions of
Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv, which together killed one and injured at least
seven others, according to officials.

The head of Kryvyi Rig's military administration, Oleksandr Vikul, said
Russia attacked civilian infrastructure with a ballistic missile, sparking a
large fire, and that a rescue operation was under way.

"As of now, it is known that four people's lives were unfortunately taken by
this strike. All of them are civilians," Zelensky said on social media.

"The only way to stop this is to put enough pressure on Moscow, on the
Russian system, so that they are forced to abandon war and terror," he added.

Eleven of the 17 injured remain in hospital, Dnipropetrovsk regional governor
Sergiy Lysak wrote on his Telegram account.
