Russia attacked Kryvyi Rih: the dead and injured

According to local media 'Svoї', as a result of the occupiers' strike, 20-year-old Oleksiy Yakymenko was killed. The Russians killed the young man with a rocket near the entrance to the building together with his grandmother Alyona.

The boy was studying at a pedagogical university and intended to become a geography teacher.

After the first explosion, Oleksiy ran to the educational institution where his aunt works, who was not injured. They met and headed home. The grandmother came out to greet them to open the entrance door, but then the second explosion thundered.

Another victim was 45-year-old Oksana, a music art teacher at one of the Kryvyi Rih gymnasiums. She was killed by shrapnel in the car. Her husband Igor was nearby and managed to react; in 2022, he buried his first wife in occupied Kherson.
