  "summary": "Two Russian drone strikes hit a shopping centre in the Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih, killing 14 people and wounding many others. According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the attack was a \"double-tap\" strike, with the second drone striking the mall about 30 minutes after the first, targeting emergency workers.\n\nLocal administration head Oleksandr Vilkul reported that 121 people were injured, including 22 children. The rescue operation was ongoing. Zelensky described the attack as a \"terrorist act\".\n\nThe city of Kryvyi Rih, President Zelensky's hometown, has been hit multiple times during the war. The attack came just 24 hours after Russia launched a nighttime aerial attack on the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, killing at least 16 people.",
