At least four civilians have been killed in a Russian attack on Kryvyj Rih in central Ukraine, reports The Kyiv Independent newspaper.

A woman and two children were found dead shortly after the attack on Monday on a multi-story building in the city, which is President Volodymyr Zelensky's hometown. Another child was dug out of the rubble hours later.

"The body of a third child was found under the debris from the five-story building. She was not even a year old", says Serhij Lysak, governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region.

At least 14 more people were injured in the attack, writes The Kyiv Independent.
