Egyptian pharaohs used to inscribe the names of places they destroyed on temple walls. If Putin wanted to make his own list to adorn the wall of the Warhammer church of the Russian Defence Ministry, this week, another place would be added to his record besides the Mariupol Drama Theatre and the kindergarten in Kyiv: the Amstor mall in Kremenchuk.
A downright antique Russian anti-ship missile Kh-22, which is intended for use against aircraft carriers, has done a pretty good job striking the shopping centre. Nearly got top marks. The only thing is that it exploded fifty metres away from it, but when the warhead is stuffed with nearly a tonne of explosives (960 kg), it does not matter much. The walls collapsed, the shopping centre went up in flames, and dozens of people burned alive.
Ten seconds after the first strike, a second missile struck the greenhouses located on the territory of the Kredmash road machinery plant near the shopping centre.
