At least 14 people were killed and more than 120 injured in a Russian drone strike on the largest shopping centre in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine, on August 21 during the daytime, local officials confirmed [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. The attack included a double-tap tactic, with a second drone striking the site roughly 30 minutes after the first to target emergency responders [1, 2, 4, 5]. Among the wounded were 22 children, and 29 people were reported seriously injured [1, 2, 4, 5]. Oleksandr Hanzha, head of the Dnipropetrovsk regional administration, said casualties could rise, stating "Two people have been killed, 15 have been wounded. The number of casualties from the enemy attack on Kryvyi Rih is growing" [6]. Kryvyi Rih, situated about 60 kilometers from the front line, is the hometown of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy [1, 7, 6, 2, 4, 5]. The attack on the shopping centre—the largest in the city—stunned the community. Zelenskyy condemned the strike as a cynical and despicable terror attack aimed at rescue workers. He said, "Attacks like these are nothing less than terrorist acts. The world must respond to them accordingly – with real pressure on the aggressor. For peace to be possible, Russia must face real accountability" [2]. Oleksandr Vilkul noted that the Russian drones flew at extremely low altitudes and warned that some people remained missing and unresponsive to calls [1]. The Russian military has not commented on the incident [1, 2]. This strike followed other recent Russian attacks, including missile and drone bombardments in Kyiv on August 20 that killed 17 people and wounded more than 40 [1, 7, 2, 4, 5]. Ukrainian authorities continue rescue and medical efforts as investigations into the Kryvyi Rih attack unfold.
