Quote from Reznichenko: "The enemy opened fire on the Kryvyi Rih district six times, cruelly targeting residential neighbourhoods.

Streets and courtyards are littered with cluster munitions after the shelling. Rescuers escorted civilians to safe locations. Explosives specialists are currently at work.

As of now, 16 cluster munitions have already been found."

Details: Reznichenko reported that two civilian residents of Apostolove sustained injuries and were hospitalised.

He added that some of the houses in Apostolove were damaged and the supply of water and electricity in the city has been interrupted in places.

Vilkul clarified that civilians sustained injuries not during the shelling itself but due to careless handling of unexploded devices.
