Russian missile destroys hotel, kills two, while US aid pause threatens Ukraine’s air defenses

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in 2022, Russian forces have been conducting extensive attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine, including residential areas, hospitals, schools, and energy infrastructure. These attacks resulted in thousands of civilian casualties and significant damage to infrastructure. Russia employed a variety of weapons, including missiles, drones (such as Iranian-designed Shahed-type drones), and aerial bombs.
The head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration confirmed that a 53-year-old man was among those killed in the attack. The State Emergency Service later reported a second fatality.
The head of the Kryvyi Rih Defense Council stated there was “a direct hit on a civilian infrastructure object,” with emergency services reporting that the missile struck a hotel, causing significant damage to the building’s stairwell.
Russian missile strike hit a hotel in Kryvyi Rih, killed two people and injured 14 so far.
More people might still be trapped under the rubble.
