Russian Drone Strike on Kryvyi Rih Shopping Center Kills 16
Zelenskyy vowed a response to a Russian drone strike on a shopping center in Kryvyi Rih that killed at least 16 people. The attack wounded more than 130 others and occurred during a period of repeated aerial bombardments across the country.
