On the evening of St Nicholas Day, the bombs hit Zaporizhzhia – fell directly onto a repair shop, on cars with people inside. So far, we know about four wounded, all of whom are being treated. Nine people are listed as dead.

A missile strike on Kryvyi Rih hit an ordinary city building. Seventeen people were injured. Two of them were killed. And these are just two Russian strikes on two Ukrainian cities in one day."
