Deadly Russian strikes hit Ukraine's Kryvyi Rih
- On Friday, August 21, 2026, Russian drones struck the Sunny Gallery shopping center in Kryvyi Rih, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's hometown, killing at least 15 people and injuring 130 others in a two-wave attack.
- Describing the assault, Zelenskyy said a second drone struck 30 minutes after the first, deliberately targeting emergency responders already at the scene in what he condemned as 'cynical and despicable.'
- Regional administration head Oleksandr Hanzha reported 23 children were among the injured, with 21 people in serious condition, including one child, as rescue operations continued overnight.
- Firefighting efforts were hampered by constant threat of further strikes, Internal Affairs Minister Ivan Vyhivskyi stated, as the fire engulfed one-third of the shopping complex.
- This assault follows a massive overnight attack on Kyiv that killed at least 16 people on August 20, reflecting Russia's intensified bombardments of Ukrainian cities in recent months.
