Russia strikes Epicenter mall in Mykolaiv again with Shahed drones

Russia struck the Epicenter shopping center in Mykolaiv with Shahed drones for the second time in a short period, injuring a 17-year-old girl who received medical aid and will be treated as an outpatient. The attack on September 4 targeted civilian infrastructure, with nearby residential buildings damaged, including broken windows. City authorities are contacting apartment owners to help seal the windows, according to Mayor Oleksandr Senkevych. Epicenter has been repeatedly hit recently, including an August 28 attack in Zaporizhzhia that caused a major fire. On August 27-28, Russia conducted a broader campaign against Ukrainian businesses, striking Epicenter, Nova Poshta, Roshen, Comfy, and other retailers.
