Both Zaporizhzhia and Kryvyi Rih are frequent targets of Russian attacks due to their proximity to the front lines.

Kryvyi Rih, the second most populous city of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast and the hometown of President Volodymyr Zelensky, is a city in central Ukraine with a pre-war population of over 600,000.
