to boost the country's defense. Russia's Foreign Ministry warned Thursday that the sophisticated system and any crews accompanying it would be a legitimate target for the Russian military.
In Kryvyi Rih in central Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's hometown, a missile slammed into a four-story residential building and left a gaping hole in its upper floors. Two people were killed and at least 13 were taken to the hospital, said Igor Karelin, deputy head of the city's emergency services.
At the site of one attempted strike in Kyiv, military commanders told The Associated Press that the city's territorial defense mobile group had shot down a cruise missile with a machine gun. It wasn't immediately clear whether other Ukrainian fire may have contributed to downing the rocket. Friday's attack was "the ninth wave of missile strikes on energy facilities," Ukrenergo said, and because of the repeated damage, "the restoration of power supply may take longer than before."
