Russian missile strikes continued to claim lives in Ukraine on Saturday, with at least two people killed in separate incidents. A fire broke out in a Kyiv warehouse after a ballistic missile alert, and a drone strike in Zaporizhzhia resulted in one death and four injuries. These attacks followed a deadly assault on a shopping center in Kryvyi Rih the previous day, which killed at least 20 people and wounded 130. Emergency crews continued rescue operations overnight, searching for nine missing individuals, including two children. The United Nations noted that the civilian death toll this year has reached its highest point since the war's early months. Ukraine has intensified its appeals to allies for additional support, particularly for intercepting ballistic missiles. Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts to broker peace have failed, with Russia demanding territorial and political concessions that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has rejected, viewing them as a capitulation that would leave Ukraine vulnerable to future attacks.
According to preliminary information, unfortunately, there is one person dead and several injured.
