Russian 'double-tap' strike on shopping centre in Ukraine kills 16 and wounds 130
Rescuers searched the wreckage as officials said nine people were missing and the fire had spread across 9,000 square metres.
- On Friday, a Russian drone assault struck the Sun Gallery shopping center in Kryvyi Rih, killing 16 people and injuring 130 others in the eastern Ukrainian city.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described the assault on his hometown as a 'double-tap' strike, in which an initial drone wave was followed by a second attack as rescuers responded.
- The fire spread across 9,000 square metres, destroying the mall owned by Cyprus-registered Arricano Real Estate, where nearly $60 million had been invested in the facility.
- CEO Margus Kurm stated it is currently too early to assess the financial damage, though the company has faced previous government sanctions it has publicly contested.
- Amid intensified ballistic missile attacks on Kyiv, Zelensky condemned the strike as 'cynical and despicable,' citing chronic shortages of Patriot air defence interceptors hampering Ukraine's defensive capabilities.
