Russian double-tap drone strike kills 15 in Ukrainian mall, officials say

Russian “double-tap” drone strikes hit a shopping center in Kryvyi Rih, in central Ukraine, killing at least 15 people, local officials said. Another 130 people—including 23 children—were injured, and some were reportedly trapped in the rubble. President Volodymyr Zelensky said the attack carried out in two waves targeted emergency responders during the second strike. BBC-verified footage showed the second drone hitting the already burning mall in Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk region. Russia’s military did not comment. Dnipropetrovsk regional head Oleksandr Hanzha said 15 deaths were confirmed, with two victims later dying in hospital, and 29 in serious condition. Rescue teams from four other regions were deployed as Ukraine reported a separate day of missile and drone attacks targeting an oil refinery and an airfield inside Russia.
