73 people hurt as Russian missile hits President Zelensky’s hometown

The hometown of President Zelensky was targeted by a Russian missile, resulting in the death of a policeman and causing injuries to a minimum of 73 individuals, as stated by authorities.

According to the interior minister of Ukraine, Ihor Klymenko, nine police officers were injured in the attack on Kryvyi Rih.

Mr Klymenko shared pictures on Telegram of a building that was on fire. The pictures also showed burned wood and emergency workers helping the injured people leave the area.

According to the interior ministry, 73 people were injured by evening.

Mr Klymenko said that on Friday, three individuals died because a bomb from Russia hit the village of Odradokamianka in southern Ukraine’s Kherson region.

The strikes happened when Russia attacked multiple places in the country during the night.

They arrived a few days later after 16 individuals were murdered in a Russian strike on a market in eastern Ukraine, and pieces of a drone were discovered in Romania.

This made people who live nearby worried that the war could start happening in the country next to Ukraine, which is a member of Nato.

On Friday, a funeral took place for an 18-year-old who was one of 16 people who died on Wednesday during a Russian attack on a market in Kostiantynivka, in the eastern Donetsk region of Ukraine.
The attack injured 33 people and destroyed the market. It happened when US secretary of state Antony Blinken was visiting Ukraine to evaluate their counteroffensive, but the attack became the main focus instead.

At the moment, Russia is organizing elections for local leaders in the portion of the Kherson region that it has authority over. There are elections happening in Donetsk, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia regions.

In Kherson, people who live there and Ukrainian activists are saying that election poll workers have been visiting houses, and they are being accompanied by soldiers who are carrying guns.
Ukraine has rejected the elections and wants its allies to condemn what Russia has done. They are asking their allies not to accept or support any government that comes from this voting process.

The war created many problems for other countries who were trying to handle the effects of the war on things like food availability, rising prices, and other important issues.

The UK said on Friday that it will organize an important meeting in November to discuss a global problem with food shortage. This decision was made because Russia decided to no longer be a part of an agreement to trade grain from the Black Sea region, and also because Ukraine’s grain supply has been attacked.
The ex-leader of the government, Boris Johnson, went to Ukraine on Friday and participated in the Yalta European Strategy event.

In a video shared on Mr. Zelensky’s Telegram channel, Mr. Johnson was shown listening to the Ukraine leader’s speech. He was accompanied by Michael McFaul, a former US ambassador to Russia who now leads a group working on sanctions against Moscow, and Mr. Zelensky’s chief of staff, Andriy Yermak.

In his speech, Mr. Zelensky said that Ukraine is not only a country in Europe fighting against Russia, it is also a moral choice and a symbol of freedom that people from different countries can relate to and recognize.
