In fact. Wasn’t the attack actually 5 or 6 missiles where 2 or three missiles were shot down?
What do you call launching large numbers of missiles with poor and inaccurate guidance systems at a large area that includes civilian buildings?

Dnipropetrovsk regional governor Valentyn Reznychenko wrote on the Telegram app that Russia fired six missiles, three of which were shot down. Railway infrastructure and an industrial enterprise had been destroyed and a services company was burning.
Ukrainian SOP as they attack Donetsk daily.

The mall is located near Kremenchhug Construction Equipment Plant.
If this is due to Russia instead of Ukraine staging more fake attacks then it is certainly a malfunction in the missile.
Russia doesn't waste expensive ammunition on targeting civilians like Ukraine does every single day as they shell Donetsk civilian centers.
Pro tip - Russia is not the bad guy in this war.
Russia’s Supreme Court rules that the USSR did not invade Poland in 1939
khpg.org...
At a press conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on May 10, 2015, Putin defended the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, claiming that the Soviet Union was being left to face Hitler’s Germany by itself. Russia’s culture minister Vladimir Medinsky called the pact a "colossal achievement of Stalin’s diplomacy."
Then on September 20, 2015, Russia’s ambassador to Venezuela Vladimir Zayemsky claimed that the Soviet Union did not invade Poland on Sept 17, 1939 and that it was in fact Poland, not the USSR, that collaborated with Nazi Germany. He wrote that “the alleged invasion by Soviet forces of Poland in 1939 is a lie” and went on to claim that although Poland was the first victim of WWII, it tried to be “Hitler’s faithful ally” in the period before the War. “It was Warsaw’s pro-fascist stand which made a treaty of cooperation between the USSR, Czechoslovakia and France impossible”, he alleged. The same offensive attempts to rewrite history were presented by Russia’s ambassador to Poland Sergey Andreyev a few days later, speaking on Polish television.
Andreyev claimed that the Soviet invasion on September 17 had not been an act of aggression, but a defensive act to ensure the security of the USSR.
This is exactly the narrative that the Kremlin has been pushing to try to justify Russia’s invasion and annexation of Crimea.

Indiscriminate attacks by Russian forces in Kharkiv, Ukraine
www.amnesty.org...
Amnesty International researchers spent 14 days in April and May investigating 41 strikes in Kharkiv, which killed at least 62 civilians and injured over 196. They visited strike locations and interviewed 160 people, including victims, survivors, relatives of victims, witnesses and doctors who treated the injured. The organisation’s researchers also collected and analysed material evidence from strike locations, notably munitions fragments which were analysed by weapons experts, as well as an array of digital investigative material. Many of those interviewed asked that their surname not be made public.6
As Russia continues to bomb Ukraine, are its weapons of choice getting worse?
theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/14/as-russia-continues-to-bomb-ukraine-are-its-weapons-of-choice-getting-worse
A preliminary war crimes assessment, conducted on behalf of 45 members of the OSCE, concluded that Russia had engaged in “a clear pattern” of war crimes, targeting, for example, hospitals, schools and places of shelter during the seven weeks of fighting.
Had Russian forces avoided such tactics “the number of civilians killed or injured would have remained much lower,” the OSCE monitors observed.
At its simplest level, Russia is accused of using unguided bombs – heavy artillery, Grad multiple rockets, air dropped bombs – on urban areas by the OSCE monitors. “A majority of Russian attacks in populated areas have been conducted with unguided artillery,” was their grim conclusion in a 99-page report.
It is a war crime to target civilians directly, and to engage in an attack on a military target that is expected to cause a loss of civilian life excessive in relation to the battlefield gain – regardless of the weapons used.
Film shot by the Associated Press in Mariupol last month, for instance, shows a Russian tank shooting at an apartment block from some distance. In that city, scene of the worst urban fighting in the war so far, the office of the UN’s human rights commissioner has already concluded “126 multi-story residential buildings were damaged and 65 were destroyed”.

I see why you didn't post the link.
Through incompetence, missiles with poor guidance, the use of large explosive warheads, missiles used for large are strikes, Russia has embraced large indiscriminate area attacks that is killing civilians and lying to cover it up. And not acknowledging they f’d up. With no apology.
What’s the civilian death toll from yesterday and then today from those daily attacks? In a war against invading forces and forces sympathetic to the invaders. Using what equipment and ammunition?
