RUSSIA has killed two people and left 22 wounded after a deadly bombing on a Ukrainian shopping centre.
Volodymyr Zelensky fiercely condemned the vile attacks on Dobropillia, in Donetsk, labeling them as “appalling, senseless Russian terror,” and accused Vladimir Putin of intentionally targeting civilians.
Russia reportedly dropped a 500kg bomb on the frontline town, according to regional authorities.
Zelensky said rescue operations were underway after the bomb strike which targeted “an ordinary shop and shopping pavilions” this evening.
Vadym Filashkin, head of Ukraine’s wartorn Donetsk region, announced the two tragic deaths.
He said the attack hit 54 shops and 13 buildings with around 300 apartments impacted.
Filashkin added that a search operation is ongoing with rescuers working to extinguish fires.
They are also fearing that more victims may be found beneath the rubble in the coming hours.
Dobropillia has been attacked by Putin’s twisted forces on several occasions during the gruelling war.
Back in March, a rocket, drone and missile barrage left 11 people dead in the town.
This included five children.
Putin also unleashed a night of deadly strikes on Tuesday, leaving at least two dead and dozens wounded.
Russian drones and missiles attacked several areas of Ukraine with the city of Kharkiv being the worst impacted by the terrifying barrage.

The latest attacks are set to anger US President Donald Trump after he imposed a strict peace ultimatum on Putin on Monday.
He issued a blistering crackdown on Moscow as he pledged to hit Russia with 100 percent tariffs if they don’t agree to a peace deal within 50 days.
Trump also said he is “very unhappy” with the despot over his incessant bombing of Ukrainian civilians.
The US President also agreed to supply weapons to help Kyiv in the war in the hopes of driving Putin to the negotiating table.
He pledged to deploy a comprehensive range of weapons from his arsenal to forcefully bring Putin back in line, following weeks of relentless bombing by the tyrant in Ukraine.
One of the proposed weapons which could be included in the package deal is America’s joint air-to-surface standoff cruise missiles (JASSM).
A snarling Putin is yet to directly respond but the Kremlin’s reaction to Trump’s latest posture was icy.
They mocked the deadline with sources saying they may now demand even more Ukrainian territory instead of laying down arms.
Russia will instead keep terrorising Ukrainian civilians during the seven-week period instead of surrendering in any form, they added.
