Dozens also injured in strikes on busy DIY store and residential building that Zelenskiy says are ‘clearly terrorism’
Four people were killed after two guided bombs hit the DIY hypermarket in a residential area of the city, regional governor Oleh Syniehubov said on national television, while 40 people were injured in the attack and 16 still unaccounted for.“The attack targeted the shopping centre, where there were many people – this is clearly terrorism,” Terekhov said.
Andriy Kudinov, director of the suburban shopping centre, told local media the hardware store was full of shoppers buying items for their summer cottages. Rescuers, medics and journalists rushed away from the scene of both strikes and lay on their stomachs, fearing a second strike – a common feature of Russia’s recent attacks.
