  2. Updated 22.58. According to the Defense Forces of Southern Ukraine, the enemy launched a pinpoint missile attack using ballistic weapons.

    “This afternoon, he launched a missile attack on Kryvyi Rih. As a result of the hit, an administrative building and a residential apartment building were damaged,” the military said .

    At present, emergency and rescue operations have been completed. Now it is known that 9 people died and another 29 were injured. Among the injured are 5 children.

  3. These ballistic missile attacks can only be stopped with Patriot batteries. Even smaller Nato nations can help with that. They only need to follow the Dutch example and donate two or three launchers, or maybe a control center and a radar. Sure, even those units are expensive, but, the value of a good conscience, having helped to stop murderous terrorism? Priceless!
