Russian Forces Destroy Epicentr Shopping Center In Mykolaiv
"For almost a day, we fought to save our shopping center in Mykolaiv. Ten of our employees put out four fires in a row with their own hands. They climbed onto the roof, entered the fire-engulfed building, shut off damaged pipes, saved equipment, hid from Shahed drones – and then returned to the fire again. They almost managed to save the shopping center," the company said, adding that the facility was hit six times over the course of the day.

The Mykolaiv-based Epicentr employed 520 people, including workers transferred from shopping centers destroyed in Kherson, Zaporizhzhia and Odesa.
On September 4 and overnight into September 5, Russian forces repeatedly attacked the shopping center in Mykolaiv with drones. The strikes damaged the sales areas and caused fires. A 17-year-old girl and a 72-year-old man were injured.
