A day after Volodymyr Zelensky said war was "returning to Russia" with an attempted drone strike on Moscow, the Kremlin launched a deadly airstrike against the Ukraine president's hometown of Kryvyi Rih.
At least six people were killed and dozens were wounded when a pair of ballistic missiles struck a school building and residential tower in the central Ukrainian city. Among the dead are a 5-year-old girl.
Zelensky said more than 350 were involved in the rescue operation. Emergency services personnel were still searching for survivors under the rubble as of Monday afternoon.
Residents said there were no air raid sirens before the missiles struck and took out significant portions of two buildings. Some said they had little time to scramble for cover.
"This time, we did not have time to orient ourselves," Kryvyi Rih resident Natalia Balaba said. "My husband was in the corridor, he was knocked down by the wave."
Balaba said all the windows in their apartment had been shattered and damage lay everywhere.
"We were very frightened, we were in great shock," she said.
