A ballistic missile struck an apartment building in the central Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih on Tuesday, killing one person and injuring 15, four of them seriously, officials said.



Ukrainian officials denounced the Christmas Eve attack on the city, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's hometown.



"The monsters landed a direct hit on a four-storey residential block with 32 apartments," the head of the city's military administration, Oleksandr Vilkul, wrote on Telegram.



One man whose body had been pulled from under the rubble could not be revived by medics, regional governor Serhiy Lysak said.



Vilkul later said that a woman had been rescued and taken to a hospital after spending four hours covered in rubble
