Shortly following the attack on Kremenchuk, at least 21 people were killed and 35 injured when, according to Amnesty International, at least two Kh-22s hit a resort and hardware store in the town of Serhiivka. Two days before the Kremenchuk tragedy, according to Ukrainian military analysts, a Kh-22 missile killed six people in Sarny, in the Rivne region. The prosecutor general’s office insisted that the same kind of missile was also used in at least three separate attacks the previous month: in Kramatorsk, in a bombardment of a recreation center in Zatoka in the Odesa region, and in the city of Lozova in the Kharkiv region. The assault on Kremenchuk was not the first time Russia had aimed a Kh-22 missile at civilian targets in Ukraine. The Comfy outlet bore the brunt of the damage: 11 of the approximately 21 fatalities from the missile strike on the mall. The Russians, having attacked a civilian mall instead of a military target, were apparently sending a brutal message: now, no one was safe. At a remove, the footage had captured the cold, quick reality-mass murder in the middle of a regular working day.
