A Russian missile attack on the central Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih killed a 47-year-old woman and wounded at least nine other people, Dnipropetrovsk regional governor Serhiy Lysak said on Wednesday.



The attack also damaged an infrastructure facility, high-rise apartment buildings, administrative buildings, a shop and an educational facility, he added in a statement on the Telegram messaging app.



Kryvyi Rih, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's home town, has been a frequent target since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine three years ago.



The overnight attack followed U.S.-Ukraine talks in Saudi Arabia where Kyiv said it was ready to support Washington's proposal for a 30-day ceasefire with Russia.



U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. would now take the offer to Russia, and the ball is in Moscow's court.



The air force said Russia used three missiles to attack Kryvyi Rih and the Black Sea port of Odesa, in addition to sending 133 drones to attack the country overnight.
