Russia launches second strike on rescuers after attack on Kryvy Rih shopping mall – Zelenskyy
Russian attack drones struck a shopping center in Kryvy Rih in two waves; the second strike occurred half an hour after the first hit and the resulting fire, when rescue services were already on the scene, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said.
On Friday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy revealed that Russian attack drones launched a second strike on a shopping center in Kryvy Rih, targeting rescue services mere hours after the initial assault. The first wave of drones struck the mall, igniting a fire that trapped rescue workers. Half an hour later, the drones returned, this time focusing on the emergency responders.
Zelenskyy reported that the second attack resulted in six deaths and 91 injuries, including six children. All of the wounded are receiving appropriate medical attention. Describing the attack as "utterly cynical and despicable," Zelenskyy declared that such actions constitute terrorism and called for the international community to respond with significant pressure on the aggressor. He stressed that ensuring peace necessitates holding Russia accountable for these strikes.
