Russian strike on Epicentr in Kropyvnytskyi injures two guards

A Russian attack on Tuesday, November 10, struck the Epicentr hypermarket in Kropyvnytskyi, leaving two people in serious condition. The strike targeted civilian infrastructure in the regional center. Regional governor Andriy Raikovych reported that two men were wounded, with one in intensive care and the other undergoing surgery by burn specialists. The State Emergency Service confirmed a car fire in the parking lot and a subsequent fire at the facility, while local media reported elevated harmful substances in the air. Both injured men were security guards, hospitalized with burns covering 25% to 40% of their bodies. This attack follows a series of Russian strikes on Epicentr stores since October, including in Kovel, Dubno, Uman, Pervomaisk, and Kyiv, with the company having largely stopped reporting on such incidents.
