Five killed and 67 injured in Russian strike on shopping centre, Ukraine says

Ukrainian officials say five people were killed and 67 others were wounded when a Russian drone hit a shopping mall in Pavlohrad, a city in Dnipropetrovsk region.

Shops and vehicles were hit in the daylight attack which took place “when the streets were full of people”, Interior Minister Ivan Vyhivskyi said.

Two other shopping malls – in the cities of Zaporizhzhia and Sumy – were targeted by Russian air strikes earlier this week, according to Ukrainian media.

Russia reported a Ukrainian seaborne drone attack on the resort city of Sochi overnight on Wednesday, in which 28 people were wounded, as well as three more deaths blamed on Ukrainian attacks.
