On the morning of November 10, 2026, a Russian strike hit the 'Epicentr' shopping center in Kropyvnytskyi. According to the State Emergency Service, a vehicle caught fire in the shopping center's parking lot as a result of the attack, and two people were injured. After a secondary strike, a fire broke out at a civilian infrastructure facility; rescue crews are working to extinguish it, although the constant threat of new shelling significantly complicates their operations.

### Rescue efforts and condition of the injured

SES units are working at the scene of the incident. According to preliminary data, the first strike caused a passenger car to catch fire in the shopping center's parking lot, leaving two people injured. The exact number of casualties was being verified at the time of publication. Following the secondary Russian strike, fire engulfed a civilian infrastructure facility near the mall. Rescuers are continuing to fight the blaze, but as noted by the agency, the risk of further strikes prevents standard operations and creates additional danger for personnel.

### Attack on energy infrastructure in eight regions

The strike on Kropyvnytskyi was part of a broader attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. On the morning of November 10, Russian forces launched strikes on energy facilities in eight regions of the country. Kirovohrad region, where Kropyvnytskyi is located, was among the affected areas. Power outages were recorded in six other regions; the scale of the outages and the timelines for restoring electricity were being verified at the time of publication.

### Targeted strike on a suburban train in Sumy

In addition to attacks on the energy sector, a targeted Russian drone strike on a suburban electric train was recorded in the Sumy region on the night of November 10. The incident underscores that in the current phase of the conflict, not only military and industrial facilities are being targeted, but also civilian infrastructure, including transport. Information regarding casualties from the train attack was being verified at the time of publication.

### Psychological support and humanitarian response

SES psychologists are working at the attack site in Kropyvnytskyi, providing assistance to everyone in need. This is standard practice when dealing with the aftermath of mass incidents: psychological support is aimed at direct victims, as well as witnesses, retail staff, and rescuers. The agency continues to collect and verify casualty data; final information will be published as it becomes available.

### Context: Vulnerability of civilian infrastructure

The attack on the shopping center and civilian infrastructure in Kropyvnytskyi demonstrates a consistent trend in which Russian strikes increasingly affect not only military and industrial infrastructure, but also objects of daily use—shopping centers, transport, and power grids. Such incidents create a double burden: on the emergency response system, which is forced to operate under the constant threat of repeated strikes, and on the population, for whom every shelling means a risk to life and the need for evacuation. Authorities and rescue services are, according to available data, continuing to coordinate actions on the ground and inform the public about the current situation.
