Kyiv: At least 17 people were killed in a Russian attack on an apartment in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhya city last night. A top official of the city gave this information on Sunday. City council secretary Anatoly Kurtaev said that the city was attacked by the Russian military with fierce rocket attacks last night. At least five houses were destroyed and about 40 others were damaged. The Ukrainian army also confirmed the attack, saying that dozens of people were injured.
Earlier on Saturday, there was an explosion on a bridge connecting the Crimean peninsula with Russia. Due to this the bridge partially collapsed. Russia sends military equipment for war in southern Ukraine through this bridge. Zaporizhia has been targeted several times in recent weeks. It falls in an area controlled by Ukraine, which Russia occupied last week. A part of this region is currently under Russian occupation. This is where the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant is located. Which is said to be the largest nuclear power plant in Europe.
Ukraine’s Defense Ministry posted pictures of Russia’s missile attack on the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhya. Ukraine’s Defense Ministry tweeted that if the Ukrainian military had a modern anti-missile system, we could have prevented such tragedies. It is being told that at least seven Russian missiles hit the industrial city of Zaporizhzhya. After increasing the number of dead by one, it has reached 17. A five-story residential building on the main road in Zaporizhzhya almost completely collapsed. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky slammed Telegram, saying Zaporizhzhya is the victim of massive rocket attacks on a daily basis. This is a deliberate crime.
