JAKARTA - Russian missiles hit a hotel in the city of Kryvyi Rih, central Ukraine, killing four people and injuring 32 people. Rescue teams are still searching on Thursday morning to find victims trapped in the rubble.

Volunteers from humanitarian organizations from Ukraine, the US, and Britain stayed at the hotel just before the attack took place. They reportedly survived after immediate shelter.

Kryvyi Rih, the city of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has often been the target of attacks since Russia launched a massive invasion of Ukraine three years ago.

"Unfortunately, four people were killed in the attack," the president wrote on Telegram.

"We must not stop putting pressure on Russia to stop the war and terror against this life," he continued.

Ukraine's Emergency Service said 19 people had been rescued from the site of the attack.

They uploaded photos of crews walking through debris outside a five-story building lit by spotlights and climbing and descending stairs.

Another image posted by the regional governor showed the hotel was no longer on fire on Thursday but its upper floor was destroyed and the entire building was destroyed.

Separately, the Ukrainian military said Russian troops in total launched two ballistic missiles including one that attacked Kryvyi Rih and 112 drones to Ukraine on Wednesday, March 5 evening.

In the northeastern city of Sumy, Russian drones attacked the postal depot and sparked a massive fire, killing one person and setting fire to the facility along with more than 2,500 packages.

Photos and videos posted by Nova Postah, the owner of the depot, show debris-filled warehouse debris and charred packages.

Several drones attack energy infrastructure in the southern region ofTEN, injuring two people.

DEK, Ukraine's largest private energy company, said an attack on the Odesa region damaged its fifth facility in two weeks.

"Russia continues its energy terror in the lecherous region," DTEK said via Telegram.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said about 10,000 households in the Odesa region were currently without electricity, and efforts were made around the clock to restore electricity supply.

Moscow launched attacks on Ukraine's energy facilities during the war that caused frequent blackouts across the country.
