Russia attacks Zelensky's hometown with missiles, 14 dead, including 6

A Russian missile attack on the central Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih has killed at least 14 people and left dozens more injured, according to regional head Serhii Lysak.

Six of the dead were children, said President Volodymyr Zelensky, who grew up in Kryvyi Rih, writes the BBC . 

The head of the city's defense administration, Oleksandr Vilkul, said a ballistic missile had landed in the center of a residential area.

A video showed a large section of a 10-story apartment block destroyed by the attack and victims lying on the street outside.

The attack, on Friday evening, was among the deadliest in Kryvyi Rih since Russia's full-scale invasion began in 2022, and comes as US President Donald Trump pushes for a ceasefire.

Zelensky wrote on social media that at least five buildings had been damaged in Friday's strike: "There is only one reason why this continues: Russia does not want a ceasefire and we see it."

The regional leader in Kryvyi Rih said more than 30 people were treated for injuries, and the youngest was just three months old.

Military chiefs from the UK and France met Zelensky in Kiev on Friday to discuss plans for foreign peacekeepers to be deployed to Ukraine as part of a possible ceasefire deal.

But there have been few signs of a cessation of violence.

Kryvyi Rih was also attacked earlier this week when a building in the center was hit, leaving four people dead.

Earlier on Friday, Russian drone strikes in the northeastern city of Kharkiv claimed five more lives.
