By Editor • August 21, 2026 • 1 min read
A devastating drone strike on a shopping centre in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine, has resulted in the deaths of at least 14 individuals, with around 120 more injured, including children.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attack, labeling it as "absolutely cynical and despicable." This strike, characterized as a 'double-tap,' involved a second drone hitting the centre shortly after the first, targeting emergency responders on the scene.
Regional governor Oleksandr Hanzha reported that 21 people are in critical condition, including one child. Kryvyi Rih, an industrial city located about 60 kilometers from the front lines, has experienced ongoing assaults throughout the conflict.
