KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine’s interior minister says Russian missiles have slammed into a central Ukrainian city and killed at least one person and likely trapped others beneath rubble. The minister said Monday that the two missiles struck an apartment building in Kryvyi Rih and destroyed a section of it between the fourth and ninth floors and a university building. Ten people were wounded. Kryvyi Rih is the hometown of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and has seldom been targeted by the Kremlin’s forces during the 17-month war. But bombardment with missiles, artillery and drones has been a hallmark of Moscow’s tactics since the full-scale invasion with some aerial attacks hitting civilian areas. Russian officials insist they only aim at legitimate military targets.
