The industrial city of Zaporizhzhia is repeatedly the target of Russian attacks. This time, according to authorities, bombs hit civilian buildings.
Ukrainian authorities have reported severe damage to civilian buildings following new massive Russian airstrikes against the industrial city of Zaporizhia in the south of the country. 16 people were injured, the head of the regional administration, Ivan Fyodorov, said on Telegram. He also published pictures of houses being destroyed. It was said that there could still be people under the rubble. Accordingly, there were a total of 13 bomb attacks. Several fires broke out.
There was also damage to the city’s infrastructure and railway facilities, it said. The head of the Ukrainian presidential office, Andriy Yermak, complained that another major city was now being terrorized by Russian bombings. More weapons are needed for Ukraine, he appealed to his allies in the West. In addition, the entire world’s efforts must be directed at Russia’s economic decline in order to deprive the country of the basis for war.
Ukrainian air defense also reported 22 Russian drone attacks, 15 of which were repelled. The country has been defending itself against the Russian war of aggression for more than two and a half years.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that 900 bombs were dropped on Ukraine last week alone. There were also 300 drone and 40 missile attacks. “This Russian terror knows no breaks and can only be stopped by the unity of the world – unity in supporting Ukraine and unity in putting pressure on Russia,” Zelenskyj wrote on Telegram.
