Russia strikes another Epicentr hypermarket in Ukraine

Russian forces launched an attack on another Epicentr hypermarket in Zaporizhzhya, Ukraine on August 28, resulting in at least four injuries, according to Zaporizhzhya Oblast Governor Ivan Fedorov. The attack damaged a significant portion of the building and sparked a large fire covering approximately 2,000 square meters. Earlier, on August 12, another Epicentr shopping center in Zaporizhzhya had been completely destroyed by Russian forces.

In addition, a single Epicentr store in Kharkiv's Osnovianskyi district was targeted on August 27, resulting in one death and five injuries. Epicentr locations in Odesa and other Ukrainian cities have also been victims of these attacks. Ukrainian military radio technology expert and presidential adviser Serhii Beskrestnov, also known as Flash, has advised Ukrainians to evacuate Epicentr stores and other major shopping centers immediately upon receiving an air-raid alert.
