A Russian air raid on a shopping centre in Dobropillia resulted in at least two fatalities and 22 injuries, according to officials. A 500kg bomb was dropped during peak shopping hours. The attack caused significant destruction, including the obliteration of nearby apartment blocks and cars. President Zelenskyy condemned the bombing as horrific and indicative of mindless terror. This incident occurred amid an intensified bombardment across Ukraine, with hundreds of drones and missiles launched by Russia, ignoring calls for a cessation of attacks and a peace agreement.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the attack as simply horrific, stupid Russian terror, emphasizing that there is no military logic to such strikes, only a desire to cause maximum harm.
Vadym Filashkin, the governor of eastern Donetsk region, reported that a 500kg bomb was dropped on Dobropillia while it was crowded with shoppers, resulting in the deaths of two individuals and injuries to 22 others.
Video footage showed the aftermath of the attack with areas around the shopping centre engulfed in flames. Firefighters were on the scene, attempting to rescue potential victims still trapped inside.
The Russian attack involved hundreds of drones and artillery, defying calls for a peace agreement, with strikes occurring in multiple regions of Ukraine during the night.
