Russian strikes on Zaporizhzhia residential districts kill civilians

The death toll from another Russian attack on Zaporizhzhia rose to three, with a married couple and their neighbour killed in a targeted strike on a residential area.

Head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration Ivan Fedorov reported on the aftermath of the attack.

He said Russian forces killed a 48-year-old man and his 43-year-old wife. Their 57-year-old neighbour was also killed in the shelling.

«At least six private houses were damaged and three vehicles destroyed, ” Ivan Fedorov said, adding that the explosion and debris caused extensive infrastructure damage, triggering a blackout in one district. Around 1,500 customers remain without electricity. Repair crews are on standby but can only start work when conditions are safe.

Local officials have called on residents to remain cautious and stay in safe locations, as the threat of further strikes persists.
