[DM] At least 16 people were killed in Ukraine on Friday after a Russian 'double-tap' drone struck a busy shopping centre.
An additional 130 people were wounded in the airstrike in the city of Kryvyi Rih, President Volodymyr Zelensky's hometown.
Footage shared on social media shows the Russian drone flying over the Ukrainian city before plunging towards the shopping centre and exploding into a giant fireball.
Separate videos from inside the shopping centre showed panicked civilians trying to evacuate the building as it filled with smoke.
Images also showed injured Ukrainians receiving medical attention on the side of the road.
Regional governor Oleksandr Hanzha said that 22 children were among the wounded in the daytime attack.
'There are 29 people in serious condition, including five children,' Hanzha said.
He also posted a photo of black smoke billowing from a large industrial building.
In an update early on Saturday, Hanzha said nine people were preliminarily considered missing, including two children, and that rescuers were continuing to clear the rubble of the shopping centre.
Zelensky called the attack 'absolutely cynical and despicable', saying that a second Russian drone hit the shopping centre half an hour after the first in what he said was a deliberate attempt to target emergency services.

[Regnum] Twelve bears were killed in Altai after a fatal attack on a tourist. The regional government press service reported this on August 21.
"Over the course of two days, hunters and game inspectors in the region killed 12 bears. The management area includes the villages of Artybash and Iogach in the Turochak district and surrounding areas," the regional government reported to the Ministry of Agriculture.
The Altai Ministry of Natural Resources clarified that the largest specimens were culled in the region.
Drones are being used to monitor bear movements. Population control will continue.
A high alert regime is in effect in the Turochak district. Movement of people is restricted at night from 8 p.m. to 10 a.m. Police officers and hunters have organized 24-hour patrols of villages.
On the night of August 19, in the village of Artybash, on the grounds of the Istok recreation center, a bear tore apart a tent, dragged a 29-year-old tourist into the forest, and mauled her to death. The tourist's body was later discovered.
The tent was pitched on the bank of the Biya River. The woman had come here for a vacation with her fiancé. The man tried to drive off the beast, but he was unsuccessful. It was later discovered that the deceased woman served in the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
Alaska resident Kaitlin Lane escaped an attack by a 350-kilogram (850-pound) brown bear while walking near Kodiak, Alaska's News Source reported on August 20.
A female bear attacked an American woman on a trail, but a dog named Vesper distracted the animal, allowing its owner to seek shelter on higher ground. The bear caught Lane on a slope and grabbed her leg, causing her to fall backward. As she fell, the woman adopted a defensive stance, blocked the distance, and kicked the bear in the face. The bear retreated, and the American woman escaped with bruises.
" My position on my back with my legs bent is exactly like how you guard in jiu-jitsu and create distance, so I just stuck my legs out to keep her from getting to my head," Lane told the outlet.
The girl's father remained in contact with her the entire time. Lane doesn't blame the predator for the aggression and believes she was protecting her cubs.
Another encounter with a bear occurred in northern Greece, where traveler Christos Stavrianides died while exploring a mountain route with his friend Dimitris.
The dog accompanying the group charged at the predator, after which Dimitris sprayed pepper spray. The animal turned its attention to Stavrianides and pushed him, causing him to fall off the cliff and die while holding his camera.
