Russian Strike on Ukrainian Shopping Centre Kills at Least Five, Wounds Dozens
A Russian strike on a shopping centre in Pavlograd, central Ukraine, killed at least five people and wounded nearly 70, including eight children, according to Ukrainian authorities. The attack occurred amid intensified long-range barrages targeting civilian and industrial sites. Ukrainian officials described the strike as deliberate terror aimed at pressuring society. Separately, a Ukrainian drone strike in Russia's Belgorod region killed one person and wounded six. Talks to end the conflict remain uncertain, with Ukraine open to negotiations and Russia deeming it premature.
