The grim search for survivors of the Kremenchuk shopping centre airstrike; Ukraine repels Russian forces from Snake Island; war returns to Kyiv
As night fell on the city, emergency workers and soldiers combed through blackened debris and twisted metal as the burned-out building was illuminated by floodlights.
“We pulled out several bodies, but there are definitely more trapped under the rubble,” said Oleksii, 46, a firefighter. “This is normally a very crowded place.” The search for survivors continues.Russia’s ministry of defence has since claimed, without evidence, that the fire was caused by “the detonation of stored ammunition for western weapons” and the shopping centre was “non-functional” at the time.
“KABOOM!” tweeted Andriy Yermak, the head of the Ukrainian presidential administration. “No more Russian troops on Snake Island. Our armed forces did a great job.”
