“This is another terrible loss for our company and yet another strike on Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure,” the company said.
No employees were hurt in the attack, Epicentr added, and the company plans to rebuild and reopen the location in the future.
Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion, Epicentr says it has lost seven shopping centers to missile attacks – in Mariupol, Chernihiv, Bucha, Nikopol, Kharkiv, and two in Kherson. Together, those sites covered more than 125,600 square meters.
Two more stores were shut down because of damage and nearby fighting. Another, in the occupied city of Melitopol, remains under Russian control.
The attack came during a major overnight assault on the city of Dnipro and parts of the Dnipropetrovsk region. Ukrainian officials said at least two people were killed, five others were injured, and several fires broke out as a result of the strikes.
