HUMANITARIAN COORDINATOR FOR UKRAINE DENISE BROWN CONDEMNS YESTEDAY'S ATTACK ON A RESIDENTIAL AREA OF KRYVYI RIH CITY
I am appalled by the toll of yesterday’s attack on Kryviy Rih City in the Dnipro Region, which killed and injured civilians, including children, in a residential area of a densely populated city.
The attack also struck educational facilities and left numerous residential multi-storey buildings in Kryviy Rih City damaged.
Aid workers are on-site providing psychological support to people affected and terrified by the attack as well as materials for the quick repair of damaged homes.
Strikes on Ukrainian cities by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue to bring devastating human loss. International humanitarian law must be respected.
Civilians and civilian objects, including homes and education facilities, must be protected.
