## 2022 attacks

On 24 February 2022, military warehouses of the 17th Mechanized Brigade in Kryvyi Rih , near the Makulan microdistrict were ataccked.[1][2]

### April

[edit]

On 7 April, there were three shellings on the territory of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. The occupiers struck the Synelnykove and Kryvyi Rih districts; four people were killed, seven were injured, and two citizens went missing. A rocket also hit a private residential sector in Kryvyi Rih.[3]

On 18 April, Russians attacked the Kryvyi Rih District.[4]

### July

[edit]

On 25 July, at 2 a.m., the Metallurgical District of Kryvyi Rih was shelled with cluster munitions from the Russian Tornado-S MLRS. It is stated that there were no victims.[citation needed]

### September

[edit]

On 3 September, the settlement community of Shyroke in the Kryvyi Rih District came under fire.[5]

On 8 September, Russian troops tried to launch a missile attack on Kryvyi Rih, but was later blocked by the Ukrainian Air Defense Forces.[6]

Flood after destruction of the dam

On 14 September, at around 17:00, Russia carried out a missile attack on Kryvyi Rih, firing at least 7 Iskander and Kinzhal missiles at the city.[7] 6 of them struck in the area of the Karachunivka Reservoir.[8] After the missile attack, the water level in the Inhulets River rose by approximately 1–2 meters, with 112 private cottages flooded.[8][7] There were also interruptions in the water supply in several areas of Kryvyi Rih.[9][10] About 5,000 residents of the Sofiivka settlement community were left without water supply and 7,000 residents of the Lozuvatka village community.[11][12] At midnight on 15 September, the head of the military administration of Kryvyi Rih, Oleksandr Vilkul, announced the partial evacuation of two adjacent districts of Kryvyi Rih due to the rise of the water level in the Inhulets River to a historical maximum.[13][14] Emergency services had to carry out two controlled bursts on the dam downstream to increase the carrying capacity of the Inhulets River and lower the water level.[8] By 16 September, the water in the Inhulets turned red. Media speculated that this was the result of a change in the course of the river and its flow on clay soils.[15] The sluice gates of the dam, which were hit by a missile, were covered with loam and rubble.[15] Eventually, water supply was stabilized in Kryvyi Rih.[16] The head of the Dnipropetrovsk state administration, Valentin Reznichenko, said that in the afternoon of 16 September, the Russians struck another blow at the critical infrastructure, as a result of which hydrotechnical structures suffered serious destruction.[17] The Minister of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine, Ruslan Strelets, said that the destruction of the hydrotechnical protective structure of the Karachunivka Reservoir could cause a man-made catastrophe with consequences for the environment and people.[18]

On 26 September, the Russians fired Kh-59 missiles at Kryvyi Rih International Airport, damaging its infrastructure.[19]

## Reactions

[edit]

As a result of the shelling of the Karachunivske Reservoir on 14 September 2022, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, stated that Russia attempted to flood Kryvyi Rih:

> The terrorist country continues to fight against the civilian population. This time —missile strikes on hydraulic structures and an attempt to flood Kryvyi Rih. All the occupiers can do is to sow panic, create an emergency, try to leave people without light, heat, water and food.

— Volodymyr Zelenskyy, [38]

The head of the military administration of Kryvyi Rih, Oleksandr Vilkul, also addressed the Russians' attempt to flood Kryvyi Rih:

> Dear residents of Kryvyi Rih, today the Russians committed another terrorist act. It hit a very large hydrotechnical structure in Kryvyi Rih with eight cruise missiles. The effort is to simply wash off a part of our city with water.

— Oleksandr Vilkul, [39]

The Institute for the Study of War said that Russia launched a missile attack on the dam to deter a counteroffensive by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in southern Ukraine, preventing future operations by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Inhulets.[40]
