The Russian military launched a new strike on the Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih the night before June 15, using Kh-101 and Kh-555 missiles, as well as Iranian Shahed drones. Tu-95 strategic bombers executed four missile launches from the Caspian. One of the missiles had been shot down. The others hit industrial facilities in the Dnipropetrovsk region of southeastern Ukraine.
In addition, 20 suicide drones had been launched towards the area, from both north and south. All of them had been intercepted by the Ukrainian air defense systems. An Orlan-10 reconnaissance drone had also been shot down.
Serhiy Lysak, head of the Dnipropetrovsk regional wartime administration, said that two industrial facilities in Kryvyi Rih were hit by Russian missiles. The strike also damaged the nearby water and gas infrastructure. A 38-year-old local resident has been hospitalized with an injury as a result of the strike.
In Kharkiv and Odesa, air raid alerts were active and explosions occurred overnight. Local officials report that drones launched at those cities had been disabled by air defense systems before reaching their targets.
Russia carried out another overnight missile strike on Kryvyi Rih the night before June 13, killing 12 people and injuring another 38. The following night, Russian missiles were launched at the port city of Odesa, where three people were killed and 13 more injured.
