Dnipro residents on social media write about how they were shopping for New Year's just there yesterday.
"Woke up, washed up, smoked, made coffee, turned on the lights on the Christmas tree, sat down at the computer. The Russians hit the Apollo shopping center not far from my house. I hope the guy I bought my Christmas tree from next to the mall yesterday didn't die. He was just starting his night shift. Turned off the Christmas lights," writes a user with the nickname "gansik" on X.
