The incident occurred at midnight when a missile hit a hotel, partially destroying the four-storey building.

Six shops, four apartment buildings, and eight cars were also damaged in the attack. Alongside SES rescuers, climbers and dog handlers are working at the scene, while psychologists from the SES have provided support to 11 adults and two children affected by the incident. A further two people died in drone attacks on the city of Zaporizhzhia, east of Kryvyi Rih. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that the rescue operation is ongoing across regions of Ukraine hit by Russian strikes overnight. He stated: "Despite the effective work of our anti-aircraft defence, four people tragically lost their lives, and 16 were injured. My condolences go out to the families and friends of those who have died."
