The agency noted that nearly 200 rescuers and more than 40 units of specialized and heavy engineering equipment were deployed to carry out emergency rescue and other urgent operations.

As a reminder, on the evening of August 21, Russian troops launched a double strike on Kryvyi Rih’s largest shopping center. The enemy struck a second time approximately half an hour after the first, deliberately targeting rescuers and emergency services that had arrived at the scene. Sixteen people were killed as a result of this attack.

The number of people injured as a result of the Russian strike on the “Sunny Gallery” shopping and entertainment complex in Kryvyi Rih stands at nearly 140. Three people are considered missing.
