On June 8, a Russian drone struck a residential neighborhood in Zaporizhzhia, resulting in fatalities and injuries. The attack has drawn attention as local authorities work to assess the full extent of the damage.
According to Ivan Fedorov, the head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration, the drone assault caused significant destruction to residential buildings and infrastructure. Initial reports indicated five injuries, but this number has since risen to 15 as emergency services continue their response.
Tragically, two individuals lost their lives in the attack. Emergency medical teams are on-site, providing necessary care to the injured. As the situation develops, authorities are gathering more information about the incident and its aftermath.
This strike follows a series of attacks on Zaporizhzhia, with Russian forces launching multiple strikes on the city on the night of June 7 and into the morning of June 8. These assaults have led to power outages and disruptions in electricity supply across the area.
Earlier, on June 6, a drone strike targeted a supermarket in Zaporizhzhia, injuring a child when debris fell on the building’s roof. The ongoing attacks have raised concerns about the safety of civilians in the region.
A recent drone strike in Zaporizhzhia has resulted in multiple casualties and significant damage to residential areas. Emergency services are actively responding to the situation as the region faces ongoing threats from aerial assaults.
