A Russian ballistic missile strike on Volodymyr Zelensky's home city of Kryvyi Rig killed 14 people on Friday, including six children, the Ukrainian leader said.
The missile struck a residential area near a children's playground and wounded more than 50 people, according to the head of the city's military administration.
Unverified videos on social media appeared to show bodies lying on a street, while another showed a plume of smoke rising into the evening sky.
"It was preliminarily a ballistic missile attack. As of now, 14 people have been killed, including six children," Zelensky said on Telegram. The rescue operation was ongoing, he added.
"There is only one reason why this continues -- Russia does not want a ceasefire and we see it. The whole world sees it," he said.
