Krivyrich, hometown of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Rescuers search an apartment building destroyed by a Russian missile.
Ukrainian authorities said three people were killed and at least 13 injured in the apartment.
Another death was reported in Kherson.
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluznyy said Russia fired 76 missiles on his way to work on the morning of the 16th, of which 60 were intercepted.
He added that Russia fired 40 missiles at the capital Kieu alone and managed to shoot down 37 of them.
In Kiiu, the capital where an air raid warning was issued, subway service was temporarily suspended as citizens evacuated in large numbers at subway stations.
The attack is the largest since Russia dropped more than 70 missiles on Ukraine on the 5th.
Russia’s airstrikes have also focused on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
Ukraine’s Energy Minister said the airstrikes damaged at least nine energy facilities, including power plants and substations, leaving about half of Ukraine’s households without electricity.

Experts have analyzed that Russian airstrikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure have become a new strategy to induce the Ukrainian people to surrender.
However, it has been diagnosed that Russian airstrikes are still playing a role in strengthening the Ukrainian people’s will to fight more than the expected effect.
