Russian strikes Zelensky's hometown in Ukraine, killing 15 people, wounding 130

Russian forces conducted a series of strikes on the Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih, the hometown of President Volodymyr Zelensky, resulting in at least 15 deaths and 130 injuries. The attack, which occurred on Friday, targeted a shopping center and involved multiple successive strikes. Authorities confirmed that children were among the large number of casualties reported at the scene.
