In addition to the fatalities, at least 130 people, including 23 children, were injured in the attack, Dnipropetrovsk region governor Oleksandr Hanzha said on Telegram. Around 30 people have serious injuries.
Shops inside the shopping complex started burning in connection with the attack.
"The attack drones struck in two waves - half an hour after the first hit and the fire, a second attack targeted rescue workers," Zelenskyy writes.
Unverified videos on social media appear to show what Zelenskyy is describing, showing a second drone crashing into the already burning and smoking building, the AFP news agency reports.
The industrial city of Kryvyi Rih, Volodymyr Zelensky's hometown, has repeatedly been in the crosshairs of Russia. It is located about sixty kilometers from the front.
"Attacks like these are nothing less than acts of terrorism. And the world must respond to them accordingly - with real pressure on the attacker," Zelenskyy writes.
