Russian drone strikes destroy Epicenter mall in Mykolaiv, injuring two

Russian drones destroyed the Epicenter shopping mall in Mykolaiv, injuring two people, according to the State Emergency Service and the company's press office. A large fire broke out following the strikes. The attack occurred on Friday, September 4, and into the night of September 5, with six impacts recorded on the hypermarket. A 72-year-old man and a 17-year-old girl were injured, and rescue workers had to repeatedly withdraw due to the threat of further attacks. The company said 520 people worked at the destroyed center, many previously relocated from damaged facilities in Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Odesa. Separately, a Russian strike on a metallurgical plant in Kamianske, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, killed four people.
