The toll from a Russian missile strike on a shopping mall in the central city of Kremenchuk has risen to 16 dead and 59 wounded, the head of Ukraine's emergency services said early Tuesday.
"As of now, we know of 16 dead and 59 wounded, 25 of them hospitalised. The information is being updated," Sergiy Kruk said on Telegram.
He said the main tasks were "rescue works, debris removal, and elimination of fires" following Monday's strike on the shopping centre.
"All response groups are working in an intense mode," Kruk said. "The works will go on around the clock."
"I would like to stress once again: do not neglect air alerts!"
