On August 21, a drone attack in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine, resulted in the deaths of at least 14 individuals and left more than 120 others injured, according to local authorities.
The attack involved two Russian drones targeting a shopping centre in President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's hometown, with 22 children reported among the injured. Regional governor Oleksandr Hanzha noted that 29 people are in serious condition, including five children.
