On 27 June 2022, the Russian Armed Forces fired two Kh-22 cruise missiles into central Kremenchuk, Poltava Oblast, hitting the Kredmash road machinery plant and the immediately adjacent[4] Amstor shopping mall. A fire broke out and the attack killed at least 20 people and injured at least 59.[2] Russian media and officials carried conflicting stories about the attack.
