A Russian missile strike on Kryvyi Rih, a city in central Ukraine, killed at least 18 people, including nine children. A Russian attack on the city on Wednesday killed four people. The number of civilian casualties could not be independently verified. The unusually high toll comes as both countries have engaged in cease-fire negotiations. A series of Ukrainian cities, many far from the front lines, have suffered deadly strikes. The Russian government has claimed that it only targets military targets, but independent organizations have documented direct Russian strikes on civilian areas and facilities.
