KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A Russian missile attack on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s hometown has killed one policeman and wounded at least 73 people, including nine policemen. It was among multiple Russian attacks across the country on Friday. Officials say 10 buildings were damaged in the attack on Kryvyi Rih. Ukraine’s minister of Internal Affairs says three people pulled out of the rubble are in serious condition. He posted photos on Telegram showing a building on fire and emergency services evacuating the casualties. Ukraine’s interior minister said three people were also killed on Friday when a Russian bomb struck the village of Odradokamianka in the Kherson region of southern Ukraine.
