Russian drones ‘double-tap’ struck a shopping centre in the city of Kryvyi Rih in central Ukraine on Friday, killing at least 15 people and more than 100 wounded.
‘The attack drones struck in two waves: half an hour after the first strike and the resulting fire, there was a second strike targeting emergency responders,’ Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed on Telegram.
The Ukraine leader asserted that Ukraine ‘will definitely respond’ to the attack.
Footage shows a drone hitting a shopping center in Kryvyi Rih, Zelensky’s hometown, causing a fireball to erupt into the sky as it explodes, all while smoke from an apparent earlier strike is still visible.
Stores inside the shopping center caught fire, Oleksandr Vilkul, the head of the city’s defense council, said.
At least 130 people have been wounded, including multiple children, according to the Dnipropetrovsk regional prosecutor’s office.
At least 29 of the injured are in serious condition, Vilkul said, including a 14-year-old girl with a traumatic brain injury and four other children.
