At least 15 people were killed and 130 others injured in a Russian drone strike on a mall in the city of Kryvyi Rih in central Ukraine on Friday.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the attack drones struck the shopping center in two waves.
The second strike came about half an hour after the initial attack targeting emergency responders, Zelensky said.
The Ukrainian President said that "attacks like these are nothing less than terrorist acts", and the world "must respond to them accordingly".
Local authorities are working to verify the exact number of people inside the mall at the time of the strike and are compiling a full list of those affected.
There has been no official response from the Russian side regarding the attack.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that Iran must be prevented from developing nuclear weapons while also stressing that the Strait of Hormuz is U.S. territory.
Speaking at a rally in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Trump added that Iran is very eager to reach a deal. However, he said, "We don't even know if we want [a deal] because I view the Strait of Hormuz as an American territory right now, it's an American territory."
On June 18, the United States and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on ending the war in the region on all fronts, including Lebanon. Under the MoU, they were scheduled to hold negotiations within a period of 60 days, which ended on Monday, to reach a final agreement, but the talks' fate remains unclear following the escalation between the two countries last month.
