Zelensky vows revenge after deadly Kryvyi Rih mall strike

President Volodymyr Zelensky pledged tangible retaliation after Russia carried out a double‑tap drone strike on Kryvyi Rih’s Soniachna Halereia shopping center, killing 16 and injuring more than 130 as rescue crews worked to reach rubble and several people remained missing. Kyiv reported additional civilian deaths from fresh Russian strikes elsewhere in Ukraine, with many wounded including children. Zelensky said the response would come through intelligence services and sanctions, while Ukraine also carried out strikes inside Russia against an Ozon warehouse, an oil refinery and a Crimean airbase in what Kyiv described as tit‑for‑tat actions ahead of post‑ceasefire security talks in Paris.

"Russian Missile Strikes Devastate Zelensky's Hometown Amid Escalating Conflict"

Following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's statement that war had returned to Russia, the Kremlin launched a deadly airstrike on his hometown of Kryvyi Rih, killing at least six people and injuring dozens. The attack targeted a school building and residential tower, with a 5-year-old girl among the victims. Rescue operations are ongoing, and residents reported a lack of warning before the missiles struck. It remains unclear why Russia targeted Kryvyi Rih, and Ukrainian officials stated there were no military targets nearby. This attack comes after Ukraine's attempted drone strikes on Moscow, which Russia claims were terrorist attacks.

Russia Launches Massive Missile Strike on Central Ukraine in Ongoing Conflict

Several civilian buildings, including a five-storey apartment block, were hit by air strikes in the central Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih, which suffered a "massive" missile attack overnight. The governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region confirmed three deaths and 25 injuries, and warned that people may still be trapped under the rubble. Air defence systems successfully repelled air attacks across the Kyiv region, including the capital, and missiles fired by Russia were destroyed. Ukraine's counter-offensive has retaken seven villages from Russian forces, but gains so far appear to be relatively minor.
