A Russian missile attack on the central Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih struck a five-storey building housing the regional police department on Friday, killing at least three people and injuring six others, officials said.

Three bodies - of a man and two women - were found under the rubble, the regional governor Serhiy Lysak said on the Telegram messaging app.
