Russian forces attacked an industrial enterprise in Kryvyi Rih with ballistic missiles overnight, injuring at least two people, Head of the Kryvyi Rih Defense Council Oleksandr Vilkul reported on Telegram on Aug. 27.
The Russian troops targeted Kryvyi Rih with at least two ballistic missiles.
At approximately 4:30 p.m. on Aug. 21, Russian forces struck Kryvyi Rih’s largest shopping and entertainment complex, Sonyachna Halereya, with two strike drones. That attack killed 16 civilians and injured 140 others.
Minister of Internal Affairs Ivan Vyhivskyi stated that law enforcement authorities served a notice of suspicion to the director of a supermarket located inside the targeted shopping mall.
"Despite warnings from local authorities to halt commercial operations during air raid alerts, the facility continued functioning. A significant number of the deceased were discovered right there," Vyhivskyi reported.
On Aug. 24, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SES) reported that search-and-rescue efforts were ongoing for a fourth consecutive day among the mall's debris, with three people, including a child, listed as missing.
On Aug. 25, emergency teams concluded search-and-rescue operations at the strike site. First responders cleared approximately 5,000 square meters (53,800 square feet) of collapsed structural debris and fully surveyed the entirety of the affected area.
The search-and-rescue mission brought together emergency response teams deployed from Sumy, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhya, Poltava, Odesa, Cherkasy, Kharkiv, and Kirovohrad oblasts.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
