Two dead and many injured in Russian strike on Ukrainian shopping centre

BBC:

At least two people have been killed and a further 27 injured following a Russian air strike on a shopping centre and market in the town of Dobropillia in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region, officials have said.

More than 50 shops, 300 apartments and eight cars were damaged in the attack on Wednesday evening, regional governor Vadym Filashkin said on Telegram.

In his nightly address, President Volodymyr Zelensky described the strike as “simply horrific” and said there was “no military logic” to it. Russia has not commented.

It comes as the US special envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, is in Kyiv on a week-long trip to discuss US-Ukrainian co-operation with Zelensky.
