On Saturday, Serhiy Lysak, governor of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, announced that the death toll from the Russian missile attack on the central Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih on April 4, 2025, reached 18 people, including 9 children. Another 72 people were wounded in the Russian attack on April 4, the youngest being a three-month-old infant. About half remain hospitalized, with 17 in critical condition. Kryvyi Rih was President Zelenskyy's hometown. The missiles struck directly near residential areas, hitting playgrounds and ordinary roads.
According to local authorities, the Russian attack damaged about 20 apartment buildings, over 30 vehicles, an educational facility, and a restaurant. Russia's Defense Ministry claimed on April 4 that it had struck the restaurant, where a meeting between a unit commander and Western leaders was taking place, with a high-precision missile equipped with a high-explosive warhead. Russian forces claimed the attack killed 85 servicemen and foreign officers and destroyed 20 vehicles. Russia's claims cannot be independently verified. The Ukrainian General Staff denied these claims.
Later, a drone attack on Kryvyi Rih killed one woman and injured seven others. The Ukrainian Air Force announced on social media on April 5 that Russian forces launched 92 drones toward Ukraine overnight, with 51 shot down by air defense missiles. Additionally, 31 decoy reconnaissance drones failed to reach their targets. In Horlivka, a town in Ukraine's Donetsk region under Russian military control, Moscow-appointed Governor Denis Pushilin reported one person killed by shelling. Security authorities told Russia's state news channel that 28 Ukrainian drones were destroyed overnight over the Donetsk region.
