President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other Ukrainian officials reported a large and relatively rare daytime strike on the city of Kryvyi Rih on Wednesday.

The interior minister said eight people had died and more than 20 were wounded. These figures were adjusted upwards slightly from earlier comments from Zelenskyy.

Kryvyi Rih is a city of more than 600,000 people in the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, where Zelenskyy was born in 1978. Located west of Zaporizhzhia and north of Odesa and Kherson, it is not that far into Ukraine's zone of control.

Meanwhile, Ukraine's military also reported repelling several overnight strikes, including five missiles fired at the capital Kyiv.

And a Ukraine reconstruction summit being hosted in Germany entered its second and final day.
