The leaders of the G7 group said a deadly Russian missile attack on a shopping centre in Ukraine was "abominable". The strike, in the central-eastern city of Kremenchuk, located around 81 miles from Russian areas of control, has killed at least 18 people.
There are fears the death toll will continue to rise, while at least 59 people were injured. Harrowing pictures shared on social media showed huge flames billowing from the building, as teams launched a massive rescue operation.
The attack happened at around 3.50pm, while some 1,000 civilians were thought to be inside the shopping centre, Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said. He added that the target presented “no threat to the Russian army” and had “no strategic value”.
