On Monday, Russia struck Kherson and Kryviy Rih, killing nine people.

Russian missiles slammed into an apartment complex and a university building in the central Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih Monday, killing six people and wounding scores of others as the blasts trapped residents beneath the rubble, Ukraine’s interior minister said. One of the missiles hit a building at the State University of Economics and Technology and destroyed most of it.

The death toll has risen to six, with 75 others injured, according to a revised death toll from the head of the Dnipropetrovsk region military administration, Serhii Lysak. Russia used two ballistic missiles to target Kryvyi Rih, said the head of the city’s Defense Council, Oleksandr Vilkul. A rescue team comprising 230 people and 57 vehicles are involved in the search and rescue for people from the two buildings damaged in the attack.

Also, on Monday, shelling in Kherson killed three and wounded seventeen civilians, reported the regional center.
