KYIV: Russian drones slammed into a busy shopping centre in eastern Ukraine on Friday, killing 14 people in an attack condemned as “cynical and despicable” by President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The attack on Kryvyi Rig, Zelensky’s hometown, comes as Russia has intensified its bombardments of Ukrainian cities in recent months.
Four more people, including three minors, were killed in another strike in the southern Mykolaiv region.
Videos on social media of the Kryvyi Rig incident showed rescuers rushing to help the wounded on the street outside, as smoke poured out of the building.
