Stores inside the shopping center are on fire.

Follow-up strikes are possible—the enemy is attempting to launch another attack on the shopping center with a Shahid missile. They are flying at extremely low altitudes.

Journalist Yulia Kirienko said she was also near this shopping complex.

Ten minutes before the attack, we were driving past the site of the strike. It was broad daylight. There were crowds of people on the streets. People were walking their dogs, running errands, going into stores, drinking coffee, and waiting for public transportation at bus stops.

This is yet another terrorist act by Russia aimed exclusively at civilians.
