Kryvyi Rih was once again the target of a Russian missile attack on the morning of August 28, with blasts reported in the city around 10:45 am. The attack followed a warning of a potential ballistic missile threat from the east.
According to Oleksandr Vilkul, the missile struck a civilian infrastructure facility, leaving the city reeling from yet another brutal assault. “Ambulances have already taken four people to the hospital. All emergency and utility services are actively responding,” Vilkul said.
The regional governor Serhiy Lysak provided more details, confirming that five people were injured in the strike. Among the victims are four men aged 29, 41, 44, and 60 – all of them have been hospitalized. A 54-year-old woman sustained injuries but will receive treatment at home.
“Kryvyi Rih is once again under attack while the city mourns. The enemy continues to target civilians. Infrastructure and vehicles in the city have been damaged, and there was also a fire,” Lysak wrote.
This attack comes on the heels of another tragic incident on the night of August 27, when Russian forces struck a hotel in Kryvyi Rih, killing a Reuters reporter from Great Britain.
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
