A nine-month-old girl injured in yesterday’s Russian strike on a building in Kryvyi Rih is in critical condition.

According to Ukrinform, Oleksandr Vilkul, head of the Kryvyi Rih Defense Council, reported this on Telegram.

He noted that the girl’s leg had been saved and that she would be transferred to Dnipro for further treatment.

Her 23-year-old mother is also in the hospital in moderate condition.

Three other women, aged 45, 56, and 74, received first aid at the scene.

According to Vilkul, in addition to private homes, two five-story buildings and a nine-story building were damaged as a result of the Russian attack. Due to damage to a gas pipeline, 34 buildings are without gas. Restoration work and cleanup efforts are ongoing.
