This was reported by Krym.Realii.

“A Russian missile struck Kryvyi Rih, killing 16 people, including 6 children (as of now, 20 people are known to have been killed, including nine children - ed.) A tragic loss of innocent lives,” the pastor emphasized on social network X.

Burns also called on the world to condemn Russia's brutality and “stand with Ukraine against such terror.”

“Faith is a choice, not a feeling!” the pastor concluded.

Pastor Burns visited the site of the attack together with the Chief Rabbi of Ukraine, Moshe Reuven Azman.

On the evening of April 4, Russian troops struck the center of a residential neighborhood in Kryvyi Rih with a ballistic missile. The missile hit the area of a children's playground. So far, 20 people have been killed, including nine children, and 29 apartment buildings have been damaged.

According to the authorities, after the missile strike in Kryvyi Rih, the Russian army conducted an additional drone strike, killing another person.

The Russian military regularly attacks Ukrainian regions with various types of weapons - strike drones, missiles, GBUs, and MLRS.

Russia's leadership denies that the Russian army is targeting civilian infrastructure in Ukrainian cities and villages, killing civilians, and destroying hospitals, schools, kindergartens, energy and water supply facilities.

The Ukrainian authorities and international organizations qualify these strikes as war crimes of the Russian Federation and emphasize that they are of a targeted nature.
