Ukraine-Russia war latest: Children among five killed and 67 injured as Putin strikes shopping centre
At least five people were killed and 67 others were injured as Russian drones hit a shopping mall in Pavlohrad, a city in southeastern Ukraine.
Officials said shops and vehicles were hit in the daylight attack which took place “when there were many people on the streets”. The injured include three teenage boys aged 13, 14 and 15.
Ukrainian officials said a total of seven people died in major Russian strikes across five districts of Pavlohrad, a rail and logistics hub in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
Russian forces had hit two other shopping malls in the cities of Zaporizhzhia and Sumy earlier in the week.
This comes as Nato allies foiled a plot where Russian subs trained to unleash a secret weapon designed to disable critical undersea cables without leaving any fingerprints, it has been revealed.
A joint operation involving Britain, Norway and the United States tracked and confronted the Russian vessels at sea, officials told Reuters after a clandestine Russian operation was carried out by Moscow’s GUGI undersea warfare directorate.
