He also reported one death in the northeastern city of Sumy.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih, the Ukrainian unit of the world\u2019s second-largest steelmaker, confirmed that one of its sites was hit in the missile attack.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>The strikes also caused casualties and damage elsewhere in Ukraine. In the southern Zaporizhzhia region, a man and a woman were killed after their home was hit, according to Ivan Fedorov, head of the regional military administration.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>In Kyiv, Russian attacks sparked several fires and injured six people. A major fire broke out at one of the capital\u2019s largest book markets near the Pochaina metro station, destroying rows of closely packed kiosks and sending thick plumes of black smoke into the sky.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>\u201cWherever the Russians can reach with their ballistic missiles, they strike civilian infrastructure,\u201d Zelenskyy said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>Russia\u2019s defence ministry said its forces had targeted a metallurgical plant in Kryvyi Rih as well as several military-industrial facilities in Kyiv, including a site involved in manufacturing Ukraine\u2019s Flamingo missiles.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>The Ukrainian-made long-range missiles have become increasingly important to Kyiv\u2019s attacks on Russian territory. Zelenskyy said on Saturday that Ukraine had used the weapons to strike a rocket research and production centre in Samara, about 900 km (560 miles) from the Ukrainian border.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br
