On April 6, Ukraine commemorates the Day of Mourning for the victims of the shelling that occurred in Kryvyi Rih on April 4.

“Cities and villages across Ukraine declare April 6 as a Day of Mourning for the victims of the attack in Kryvyi Rih,” wrote Deputy Prime Minister for Reconstruction Oleksii Kuleba.

As a result of the missile strike and drone attack, 19 people lost their lives in the city.

Victims of the missile strike include 18 individuals, among whom were 9 children.

“Three-year-old Tymofii sadly passed away today (April 5 - ed.) in the hospital. Seven-year-old Radyslav. Arina, who will forever be 7 years old. Nine-year-old Herman. Fifteen-year-olds Danylo, Mykyta, Alina. Sixteen-year-old Kostiantyn. Seventeen-year-old Nikita,” President Volodymyr Zelensky named the deceased children.

Currently, 75 people are known to be injured.

37 individuals remain in hospitals, with 19 in serious condition.

The occupiers struck Kryvyi Rih on Friday evening with an Iskander ballistic missile equipped with a cluster warhead, hitting the center of a residential area that included a playground, café, and houses.

Hours later, the Russians attacked the city again with drones.

One person died, and seven others were injured.

Zelensky called for international pressure on Russia.

In his evening address, President Volodymyr Zelensky urged the world to put pressure on Russia.

“Russia must be held accountable for everything it has done; we need to pressure them – truly pressure them, without wasting time on empty discussions – to end this war,” said the president.

Volodymyr Zelensky, who criticized the U.S. the day before for its “weak” stance regarding the missile strike on Kryvyi Rih, called for not remaining silent about the crimes of the Russians.

“To ignore that it is Russia killing children with ballistic weapons is wrong, it is dangerous. This only encourages the scoundrels in Moscow to continue the war and further disregard diplomacy. Weakness has never ended a war. Therefore, I am grateful to every country whose representatives have spoken out: leaders, foreign ministers, embassies,” the president noted.
