Russia targets Zelensky’s home city as missiles hit dam causing flooding

‘Russia is a terrorist state and must be recognised as such,’ Ukraine’s foreign minister says after the attacks

A dam struck by Russian missiles in president Volodymyr Zelensky’s home city has caused widespread flooding.

Kryvyi Rih, the largest city in central Ukraine with an estimated pre-war population of 650,000, was hit by eight cruise missiles on Wednesday, officials said.

The strikes hit the Karachunov reservoir dam, Mr Zelensky said in a video address released early on Thursday.
