Zelensky says Russia likely used a North Korean missile in an attack near Kryvyi Rih that killed four children and their parents

A North Korean ballistic missile likely struck the village of Radushne near Kryvyi Rih overnight, President Volodymyr Zelensky said, killing a couple and four of their children. Meduza reports the family, Artem and Olena Voronov, had seven children and an eighteen-month-old grandson in the house at the time of the strike.

He added that condemnation from other countries isn't enough — Ukraine says what it needs now is more air defense.
