Kryvyi Rih is regularly attacked by Shahid rockets; this is happening in the city
Russian occupiers regularly launch attacks on Kryvyi Rih. Recently, the enemy has most often used jet-powered drones for these attacks, some of which occasionally fly through the city en route to other regions.
This was reported by Kryvyi Rih correspondent Oleksandr Fefilatyev. According to him, Russian troops previously attacked the city periodically with small “Banderol” cruise missiles. Now, however, they have struck one of the city’s hospitals twice with such missiles.
What is the current situation in Kryvyi Rih?
As the correspondent emphasized, jet-powered drones remain the primary means of terror in the city. There are periodic threats of strikes by X-59 air-to-ground missiles.
From time to time, the Russians launch guided aerial bombs from the occupied parts of the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, as well as from the waters of the Sea of Azov. But their main weapon is the “Shahed” drones. The enemy deliberately launches them so that air raid sirens sound simultaneously in the Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and Mykolaiv regions. The neighboring Kirovohrad region is also nearby—30 to 40 kilometers away.
They launch “Banderole” or “Shahed” drones along these routes, and the air raid sirens go off in all regions. This is yet another means of psychological pressure on the region’s residents and an additional burden on the Ukrainian Defense Forces,” the correspondent said.
People are still heading to shelters
According to the correspondent, Kryvyi Rih has also recently begun distinguishing between red and yellow air raid alerts. Modular concrete shelters have been built on the city’s streets. And for the most part, people try to stay off the streets during alerts.
Just yesterday, there was a threat from “Banderole” missiles, which then headed toward the Kirovohrad region. When they heard about the threat to the city, many people immediately ran to the concrete shelters.
This is reported in a story by Channel 24.
Kryvyi Rih is switching to austerity mode due to problems in the industrial sector.
As a reminder, Russia is destroying Ukraine’s metallurgical industry, eliminating a competitor in the EU market.
Ukraine’s largest steel mill has partially halted operations following a Russian strike.
The combination of Russian strikes on steel mills, problems with maritime logistics, rising transportation costs, and new EU restrictions could lead to a 30–40% reduction in steel production in Ukraine, and iron ore production by approximately 40%.
