Ukraine-Krieg: Russland greift Einkaufszentrum in Ukraine an: Viele Opfer
Bei einem neuen russischen Drohnenangriff auf die Heimatstadt von Präsident Selenskyj gibt es Tote in einem Einkaufszentrum. Der Staatschef spricht von einem zynischen Angriff.
Kryvyj Rih, a major city in southeastern Ukraine, has witnessed at least five casualties following Russian drone strikes on a bustling shopping center. The region's military governor, Oleksander Hanscha, disclosed the grim news on the Telegram news platform. The casualty count has since risen to 91, with 21 people suffering severe injuries, including a child.
President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed outrage over the "absolutely cynical and treacherous attack on an ordinary shopping center" via a Facebook post. According to Hanscha, the drones launched their assaults in two waves. "One and a half hours after the initial hit and the outbreak of a fire, another strike followed upon the rescue forces," he added.
Hanscha emphasized that such attacks are nothing less than terrorist acts, urging the world to respond with genuine pressure on the aggressor. "Only through accountability can peace be achieved," he stressed. Kryvyj Rih, Zelensky's hometown, has been targeted by Russian military forces just days ago, with two civilians losing their lives and nearly a dozen others injured.
Russia has been waging an invasion against Ukraine for nearly four and a half years, increasingly targeting civilian sites in the neighboring country in recent months.
