# At least 16 people were killed and more than 130 wounded when ​several Russian drones struck a shopping centre in central Ukraine late on Friday. President Volodymir Zelensky promised a response to what he called an “act of barbarism.” Regional governor Oleksandr Hanzha said that 22 children were among the wounded in the ​attack on the city of Kryvyi Rih, which is Zelensky’s hometown. In an update yesterday, Hanzha said nine people were preliminarily ​considered missing, including two children, and that rescuers were continuing to clear the rubble of the shopping centre.
