Ukraine’s emergency services have released these heartbreaking scenes of the devastation at the shopping mall in the central Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk after it was hit in a Russian missile strike.
The Russian missile strike – which has made headlines around the world – has been described by Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as one of the “most brazen terrorist acts in European history.” Over 1,000 people are said to have been inside the building when it was hit by missiles.
Nearly 20 dead had been reported at the time of writing, with the number expected to climb as rescuers sift through the debris.
