A Russian missile strike on Monday June 27 hit a crowded mall in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk, killing and wounding an unconfirmed number of people, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

“The occupiers fired missiles at a shopping centre where there were over a thousand civilians… The number of victims is impossible to imagine,” Zelensky wrote on Telegram.

The city’s mayor said earlier there was an unknown number of dead and wounded in the attack on the “very crowded place”.
