The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine called the statements of the russian Ministry of Defense as lies, that the alleged strike on Kryvyi Rih was a hit on the "place of a meeting of the commanders of the formations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with Western instructors".
The command of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported this on Telegram.
The General Staff noted that on April 4, russian troops struck Kryvyi Rih with an Iskander-M ballistic missile with a cluster warhead, designed to hit a larger area and a larger number of people.
"Now the military department of the aggressor country is trying to cover up its cynical crime with a "high-precision" lie about hitting "the place where the commanders of the Armed Forces of Ukraine units were meeting with Western instructors," the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said.
"We declare that russia is again spreading false information. The missile hit a residential area and a playground," the defense department emphasized.
"By another violation of the norms of international humanitarian law, the insidious enemy demonstrates that it does not seek peace at all, but instead aims to continue the war of aggression and destruction against Ukraine and all Ukrainians," the General Staff of the Armed Forces stated.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on the evening of April 4, the russian army launched a ballistic missile strike on a residential area of Kryvyi Rih. It is known that 18 people were killed, including 9 children, and over 60 were wounded.
