"Epicenter" store in Sumy burns down following drone attack, and part of building collapses

On the evening of July 20, russian troops launched an attack using strike drones on the "Epicenter" shopping center in Sumy. It was reported by Kordon.Media.

As a result of the strike and the subsequent fire, the section of the building housing the construction department has already collapsed. The fire has now spread to all sections of the shopping center, and footage released online shows the massive blaze.
