Six killed, around 90 wounded in Russian strike on shopping centre in Ukraine

Officials said the second drone hit came 30 minutes after the first, as rescuers treated 50 injured and searched the smoking mall.

  • On Friday, Russian drones struck a shopping centre in Kryvyi Rih, killing at least six people and wounding around 90 others in the central Ukrainian city.
  • The industrial city lies roughly 60 kilometres from the front line and has endured repeated Russian strikes as Moscow escalates its air war on Ukraine.
  • A second drone hit the centre half-an-hour after the first, which President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called "absolutely cynical and despicable" and a deliberate attempt to target emergency services.
  • Regional governor Oleksandr Hanzha said "Twenty-one people are in serious condition, including one child," as rescue operations continued at the industrial site.
  • The United Nations reports civilian deaths reached their highest level in 2026, following Thursday's Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv that killed 17 people.
