Missile strikes hit Zaporizhzhia and Kryvyi Rih
Summary
A look back at a day of deadly Russian missile attacks on two Ukrainian cities, and a Baltic Sea incident two days earlier.
What did a single day of missile strikes cost Ukrainian civilians? On 6 December 2024, a Russian missile strike in Zaporizhzhia killed ten civilians and injured four others, including two children.
Separately, a missile attack on an administrative building in Kryvyi Rih killed two people and injured 16 others.
Two days earlier, on 4 December 2024, a Russian Navy warship fired warning shots at a German helicopter on a routine patrol over the Baltic Sea. The pilots had to make evasive manoeuvres. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock condemned the incident as part of Russia's hybrid warfare against NATO.
