Missile strike hits crowded mall in central Ukraine, Zelensky says

Via France 24:

A Russian missile strike hit a crowded shopping centre in the central Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk on Monday, President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

More than 1,000 people were in the shopping centre at the time of the attack, Zelensky wrote on Telegram. He gave no details of casualties but said: “It is impossible to even imagine the number of victims.

Minutes later, Zelensky’s deputy chief of staff, Kyrylo Tymoshenko, said on Telegram that there were around 20 wounded so far, with nine in “serious condition”.

“Two people died. The rescue operation continues,” Tymoshenko added.

Kremenchuk, an industrial city of 217,000 before Russia’s Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine, is the site of Ukraine’s biggest oil refinery.
