At least 16 people were killed and more than 130 wounded yesterday when several Russian drones struck a shopping centre in central Ukraine, authorities said. President Volodymyr Zelensky has promised a response to the attack, which he described as an "act of barbarism". At least nine people, including two children, have been missing and believed to be trapped under the rubble of a shopping centre attack by Russia, said regional governor Oleksandr Hanzha.
"Attacks like these are nothing less than terrorist acts," Mr Zelensky said on Telegram, urging the world to hold Russia to account. "We will definitely respond." Kaja Kallas, the EU’s foreign policy chief, condemned Russia’s attack on Kryvyi Rih as “terror by design” and said she was “putting forward the most far-reaching Russia sanctions listings since the start of the war” when ministers meet in Ireland next month. Russia’s overnight attack killed two people, local authorities said on Saturday morning, a day after Moscow's attack on a Ukrainian mall One person was killed in a warehouse fire in Kyiv following a ballistic missile strike, while another person was killed in a drone strike on the city of Zaporizhzhia.
Russian airstrike on Ukraine killed two people, local authorities said this morning, a day after Moscow's attack on a Ukrainian mall killed 16 people. In Kyiv, the city’s military administration said a warehouse caught fire in the capital’s Darnytskyi district this morning. "According to preliminary information, unfortunately, there is one person dead and several injured," the administration said.
Ukraine has launched an attack on the Novokuybyshevsk refinery in Russia's Samara Oblast, according to Kyiv Independent. Ukraine reportedly also targeted a commercial logistics center in its overnight attack in the same region. Ukraine increasingly contributes battlefield-tested designs and operational knowledge, while Britain can provide engineering expertise, industrial capacity, certification, capital and access to international markets “Russia’s attack against a shopping centre in [Kryvyi Rih] shows the absolute and utter depravity of Moscow’s war,” Kallas said on X, claiming that Moscow “wants to make Ukrainian cities unliveable”.
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky has called the Russian attack on a Ukrainian shopping centre "absolutely cynical and despicable". He said a second Russian drone hit the shopping centre half an hour after the first in what he said was a deliberate attempt to target emergency services. Hanzha said the nine were preliminarily considered missing as rescuers raced against time to clear the rubble of the shopping centre.
Regional governor Oleksandr Hanzha said that 22 children were among the wounded in the daytime attack on the city of Kryvyi Rih, which is Zelensky's hometown. "There are 29 people in serious condition, including five children," Hanzha said. A Ukrainian drone attack killed one person and wounded four others when a car was struck Friday in Russia's Belgorod region near the village of Razumnoye, local officials said, adding that two of the injured were in serious condition.
