A Russian missile attack on the central Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih killed a 47-year-old woman and wounded no fewer than nine other people.

Dnipropetrovsk regional governor, Serhiy Lysak revealed this in a statement on the Telegram messaging app on Wednesday.

Lysak said the attack also damaged an infrastructure facility, high-rise apartment buildings, administrative buildings, a shop and an educational facility.

It was gathered that Kryvyi Rih, which is President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s home town, has been a frequent target since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine three years ago.

The overnight attack happened after the US-Ukraine talks in Saudi Arabia where Kyiv said it was ready to support Washington’s proposal for a 30-day ceasefire with Russia.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the United States would now take the offer to Russia, and the ball is in Moscow’s court.

According to the air force, Russia used three missiles to attack Kryvyi Rih and the Black Sea port of Odesa, in addition to sending 133 drones to attack the country overnight.

In Odesa, Deputy Prime Minister Oleksiy Kuleba said on Telegram that the missile strike on port infrastructure killed four Syrians and wounded a Ukrainian and a Syrian citizen.

Lysak said the overnight attack on the city of Dnipro also wounded one person and damaged infrastructure, enterprises and around 10 private homes, causing fires which have mostly been put out.
