Ukraine says a Russian strike on a shopping centre in Kryvyi Rig kills civilians, with deaths reported as 14 to 16. Social media videos shared by outlets show rescuers working near the building as smoke rises from the area outside, with people appearing to be wounded on nearby streets.
The incident is framed by Ukrainian officials as part of intensified bombardments in recent months. One outlet describes the attack as “cynical,” while another notes it occurs in Kryvyi Rig, which is associated with President Volodymyr Zelensky’s hometown. Differences between reports focus on the death toll figure and emphasis on the incident’s character, but both tie the strike to ongoing strikes on Ukrainian cities.
