At least 16 people were killed and more than 130 wounded in a Russian drone strike on a shopping center in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine, yesterday, according to reports by Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). The figures mark a rise from Friday evening, when The Zioneer reported at least 14 killed and over 120 wounded in the same attack.
The death toll from a Russian drone attack on a shopping center in Kryvy Rih, central Ukraine, has risen to at least 16, with more than 130 wounded, according to reports by Asaf Rozentzweig (N12) Saturday morning. The updated figures follow initial reports Friday evening that placed the toll at 14 killed and over 120 wounded.
As The Zioneer reported Friday at 18:27 Jerusalem, the attack struck the shopping center on Friday afternoon, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky alleging that two drones hit about half an hour apart – the second deliberately targeting emergency crews – and calling the attack a “terror act.” The regional governor said then that 29 of the wounded were in serious condition, including five children, out of more than 120 injured.
The Kryvy Rih attack adds to a series of Russian strikes against Ukrainian civilian infrastructure in recent weeks. As The Zioneer reported on August 20, Russia launched a massive barrage on Kyiv with over 50 missiles and drones, killing 12. The Kryvy Rih incident is one of the deadliest single attacks on a civilian target during that period.
The new casualty figures have not been independently confirmed. Rescue operations concluded overnight, and the number of seriously wounded may affect further updates.
