At least 10 people were killed and more than 40 others injured on Monday in the Russian bombardment of a “busy” shopping mall in Kremenchuk, central Ukraine.
The director of the military administration of the city of Poltava, Dmitry Lunin, noted in a statement that the fire was extinguished in the shopping center, noting that the shelling left at least 10 dead and more than 40 injured.
The mall was hit by Kh-22 anti-ship missiles fired from Tu-22 long-range bombers from Russia’s Kursk region, according to another statement from the Ukrainian Air Force.
The Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, had earlier announced a “number of victims (…) impossible to imagine” following a missile attack on a shopping center “where there were more than a thousand civilians”.
He had noted that the site “presents no danger to the Russian army” and “has no strategic value”.
