On the night of July 30, Russian forces launched a ballistic missile strike on the outskirts of Kryvyi Rih. Six people, including two children, were killed when an Iskander-M missile struck a private home directly. Eight more people were injured.

This was reported by Oleksandr Vilkul, chairman of the Kryvyi Rih Defense Council.

A Russian ballistic missile struck a private home where a large family lived.

According to Vilkul, the victims include two girls, ages 5 and 12, and four adults.

Eight other people were injured. Among the injured are two children: boys aged 6 and 15. All of the injured are receiving the necessary medical care.

The emergency rescue operation is ongoing. Rescuers are clearing the rubble of the destroyed house, so the death toll may rise.

On the night of July 30, Russia launched a massive combined attack on Ukraine, using ballistic missiles and strike drones. In Kyiv, one person was killed as a result of a ballistic missile strike, and in Lviv, missiles struck a residential area—damaging high-rise buildings and injuring at least six people.
