Ukrainian officials say scores of civilians are feared killed or injured after a Russian missile strike hit a crowded shopping mall in the central city of Kremenchuk.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a Telegram post Monday that the number of victims was ``unimaginable,'' citing reports that more than 1,000 civilians were inside at the time of the attack.

Zelenskyy stressed that the target presented ``no threat to the Russian army'' and had ``no strategic value.''

At least 13 people were dead and more than 40 wounded, according to the regional governor, Dmytro Lunin, who said that rescuers were continuning to comb the smoldering debris for more victims.
