Six killed, around 90 injured in Russian drone strike on Ukrainian city
At least six people were killed and about 90 injured after Russian drones struck a shopping center in Kryvyi Rih, central Ukraine, on Friday.
A Russian drone strike on a shopping center in Kryvyi Rih, central Ukraine, on Friday resulted in at least six fatalities and around 90 injuries, according to local Ukrainian authorities. The attack, which took place during the day, left six children among the injured, reported Reuters citing regional governor Oleksandr Hanza. Twenty-one people were in serious condition, with one of them being a child.
President Volodymyr Zelensky described the attack as "utterly vile" and alleged that a second Russian drone struck the shopping center half an hour later, aiming to target emergency crews. The president labeled the strikes as "nothing but acts of terrorism" and urged the international community to hold Russia accountable. Russia has escalated its aerial campaign against Ukraine as the ground war enters its fourth and a half year.
Meanwhile, Ukraine has intensified its attacks on Russian territory, targeting oil facilities and logistics infrastructure to weaken Moscow's ability to continue the conflict.
