Russian occupiers carried out a massive drone attack on Kryvyi Rih during the night of 2 March. An enterprise was hit, resulting in several fires breaking out.

This was reported on Telegram by the Head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration, Oleksandr Hanzha, and on the channel of the Head of the City Defence Council, Oleksandr Vilkul.

“The enemy struck Kryvyi Rih. An enterprise in the city was damaged. Several fires broke out there. Firefighters are dealing with the aftermath. According to preliminary information, no people were injured,” the RMA said in a statement as of 06:00.

A few hours earlier, the Head of the City Defence Council, Oleksandr Vilkul, had informed that the enemy was carrying out a massive “Shahed” strike on Kryvyi Rih. According to him, at least five drones were moving towards the city at that time.

It is recalled that on the night of 26 February, Russian forces carried out another combined strike on Ukraine, using missiles and attack drones against a number of cities.

It is recalled that Deputy Head of the Presidential Office, Brigadier General Pavlo Palisa, believes that the Russian Federation has not abandoned its intentions to expand the occupation of Ukrainian territories, in particular to seize regional centres — Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Mykolaiv and Odesa.

Total combat losses of Russian troops in manpower from 24 February 2022 to 1 March 2026 have reached approximately 1,266,770 personnel. In the last 24 hours alone, another 870 occupiers have been eliminated.

It is recalled that the Defence Forces of Ukraine, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, have eliminated around 1,265,900 Russian military personnel, including 770 in the last 24 hours.

Air defence shot down almost all the drones with which Russia attacked Ukraine.
