Three people were injured in a drone attack on Kryvyi Rih on the afternoon of January 29, reported Head of the Community Vilkul.
Two women and a man were injured as hits occurred in private homes in the city, as rescuers battled the fires into the evening and cleared the debris from the site, however upon the clearance of the debris, a body of an elderly woman was found under the rubble.
Head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Administration Alexander Ganja updated the condition of the two women, who were admitted to hospital in a moderate condition, while noting that the man had been treated as an outpatient.
According to a neighbour, the woman who died lived in a house with three other people and had moved to Kramatorsk in 2022, noting that the other residents of the house avoided injury.
“Her name was Olga,” the neighbour said, noting that the daughter was taken to hospital with acute shock, while Olga’s son-in-law was at work: “It exploded, of course, very loudly. I sat down, so to speak. The windows flew out. Their house was completely burned down, only the brick walls remained.”
Russians have started to attack the Pavlograd-Polkovsk route with Molniya strike drones.
