At least 14 killed in 'despicable' Russian attack on shopping centre in Ukraine
About 120 others, including children, were injured in the Russian drone attack.
At least fifteen people lost their lives in a Russian drone attack on a shopping centre in Kryvyi Rih, central Ukraine. Around 130 individuals, including 22 children, sustained injuries in the daytime assault. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the attack as "absolutely cynical and despicable." The second Russian drone struck the shopping centre half an hour after the initial strike, reportedly aiming to target emergency services.
Twenty-one victims were in critical condition, with one of them a child, according to regional governor Oleksandr Hanzha, who shared a photo of black smoke emanating from a large industrial building. Kryvyi Rih, approximately 60 kilometers from the front line, has faced repeated Russian attacks throughout the ongoing war.
