Russian drones kill three in Ukraine, cut power to over a million

Other attacks hit at least two shopping centres – one in the northern city of Sumy, which sits close to the front line, and one in the neighbouring region of Rivne, officials said – the latest in a spate of Russian assaults on malls and markets.

Pictures from emergency services in Sumy showed blood spattered across the floor and shots of the centre’s damaged entrance.

Seven people were wounded by drones that hit a major shopping centre and other sites in Rivne, regional governor Oleksandr Koval said.

Ukraine‘s energy ministry said large parts of the city of Rivne and the surrounding area were without power after attacks on energy infrastructure there.
