Russian forces struck the Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih on 15 August, injuring two men, according to Oleksandr Vilkul, head of the Kryvyi Rih Defence Council, who reported the attack on social media.

The strike sparked a fire and caused power outages in the city, though the situation has since been brought under control, Vilkul said.

Serious injuries

Both injured men are in serious condition. A 61-year-old man sustained multiple injuries and is described as being in a serious but stable state. The second man suffered a traumatic leg amputation as a result of the attack and is currently in surgery, with doctors working to save his life.

No further details on the weapons used or the extent of the damage were disclosed in the report.
