Authorities are responding to Russian missile strikes in Kryvyi Rih on June 12. An unknown number of projectiles struck a residential area near the city center. The attack damaged an administrative building and an apartment block, killing at least eight individuals and wounding around 20 others. The reported casualties may rise as emergency services respond to the strike.
Heightened security measures will likely be in place around the impact site over the coming hours. Localized ground transport and business disruptions, as well as utility outages, are probable in the aftermath of the attack.
Avoid impact sites until authorities give the all-clear. Shelter in place if there is fighting or airstrikes in the area.

Follow the instructions of local security personnel, especially when instructed to seek refuge in air-raid shelters. Maintain contact with diplomatic representations. Do not approach suspected unexploded ordnance.
