UNICEF Demands Immediate End to Attacks on Civilians in Ukraine After Nine Children Killed in Kryvyi Rih Missile Strike.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Geneva:<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

UNICEF has issued a powerful call for the immediate cessation of attacks on civilian areas in Ukraine following a devastating missile strike in Kryvyi Rih that reportedly claimed the lives of at least nine children and left many more injured.<\/p>\n

In a heartfelt statement, Regina De Dominicis, UNICEF Regional Director for Europe and Central Asia, expressed deep sorrow over the tragedy and condemned the continued violence targeting residential areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are devastated by the horrific attack in Kryvyi Rih that reportedly killed at least nine children and injured many more, including one as young as three months old,\u201d said De Dominicis. \u201cNo child should ever suffer such terror. No parent should ever endure such pain.\u201d<\/p>\n

The missile is reported to have struck a residential neighborhood in the Saksahanskyi district during the early evening \u2014 a time when families typically gather to begin their weekend. The attack landed near a playground and tore through homes, a school, and a restaurant. Heart-wrenching scenes emerged in the aftermath, with parents seen holding their lifeless children amid the wreckage.<\/p>\n

A Pattern of Violence Against Children<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to UN-verified data, more than 2,500 children have been killed or injured since the escalation of the conflict in February 2022. UNICEF emphasized that the use of explosive weapons in populated areas \u2014 especially those impacting schools, hospitals, and homes \u2014 continues to disproportionately harm children.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery child killed is a future stolen,\u201d said De Dominicis. \u201cThe brutal use of explosive weapons in populated areas and attacks on civilian infrastructure must end.\u201d<\/p>\n

UNICEF Responding on the Ground<\/strong><\/p>\n

UNICEF teams, alongside their partners, are actively working in Kryvyi Rih and surrounding areas, coordinating with local authorities to provide emergency relief and psychosocial support to affected families. \u201cThe response is ongoing,\u201d De Dominicis confirmed.<\/p>\n

A Plea for Peace<\/strong><\/p>\n

The statement concluded with an urgent appeal for peace, protection, and hope for Ukraine\u2019s children. \u201cChildren in Ukraine need peace. They need protection. They need a sense of hope for the future, not more grief and pain,\u201d De Dominicis said.<\/p>\n

UNICEF continues to call on all parties to respect international humanitarian law and protect civilians \u2014 especially children \u2014 from the devastating impact of armed conflict.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
