Russian drones hit a shopping center in Kryvyi Rih, in central Ukraine, on Friday, killing at least 15 people and injuring scores more, according to Ukrainian authorities. The city is the hometown of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Zelenskyy said the strike was a double-tap attack, meaning a second wave of drones came after the first blast as rescue workers arrived. He called the attack a terrorist act and said Ukraine would respond.
Oleksandr Hanzha, who heads the Dnipropetrovsk regional military administration, said 130 people were injured in the mall strike, including 23 children. Officials also said separate Russian attacks in the Kharkiv and Mykolaiv regions killed six more people on Friday.
Ukraine's air force said it shot down or suppressed 107 of the 135 drones launched by Russia overnight. The strikes came one day after a large Russian attack on Kyiv killed 16 people.
俄罗斯无人机袭击乌克兰中部城市一家购物中心致15人死亡，官员称
乌克兰当局称，俄罗斯无人机周五击中了乌克兰中部城市克里维里赫的一家购物中心，造成至少15人死亡、数十人受伤。克里维里赫是总统泽连斯基的家乡。
泽连斯基说，这次袭击属于“双重打击”，即第一轮爆炸后，救援人员赶到现场时，第二波无人机又接踵而至。他将这次袭击称为恐怖行为，并表示乌克兰会作出回应。
第聂伯罗彼得罗夫斯克州军政负责人奥列克桑德尔·汉哈说，购物中心袭击造成130人受伤，其中包括23名儿童。官员还表示，俄罗斯当天在哈尔科夫州和尼古拉耶夫州的另两次袭击又造成6人死亡。
乌克兰空军称，过去一夜击落或压制了俄罗斯发射的135架无人机中的107架。就在这次袭击前一天，俄罗斯对基辅的大规模空袭造成16人死亡。
