A high-rise residential building in Kryvyi Rih was hit by a Russian missile on Nov. 11, injuring at least 14 people, including two children, local authorities said. First responders retrieved the body of a woman from the rubble at around 11 p.m. local time.
The missile hit the building between the first and fifth floor, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Governor Serhiy Lysak reported, adding there may still be three children under the rubble. The rescue operation continues through the night.
A 10-year-old girl, and an 11-year-old boy are among the injured. At least five people were rescued from the building, according to Ukraine's State Emergence Service.
"Russia seeks only to continue the war, and each of its strikes refutes any statements from Russia about diplomacy," President Volodymyr Zelensky said on social media. "Ukraine needs weapons to defend against Russian terror and stronger support from the world to make diplomacy real and strong."
Kryvyi Rih, the hometown of Zelensky, remains a frequent target of Russia's missile attacks.
