Russian missile strike on high-rise building in Kryvyi Rih kills 4, including 3 children

Editor’s Note: This is a developing story and is being updated.
Three children and a woman were killed when a high-rise residential building in Kryvyi Rih was hit by a Russian missile on Nov. 11, local authorities said.
“The bodies of two children were retrieved from under the rubble of the building in Kryvyi Rih,”  Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Governor Serhiy Lysak said on Nov. 12.
Later in the morning he added: “The body of a third child was found under the rubble of the five-story building. She was not even a year old.”
Another 14 people were injured.
The missile hit the building between the first and fifth floor, Lysak reported. The rescue operation continued 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.
