According to him, private houses and non-residential premises were also damaged in the Shevchenkivskyi and Oleksandrivskyi districts of Zaporizhzhia – utility workers are already eliminating the consequences of the attack.

Late in the evening of January 22, according to the local authorities, the Russian forces carried out five drone strikes on Zaporizhzhia, causing a fire. Subsequently, on the night of January 23, an air alert was announced in the city due to the threat of ballistics, and explosions rang out.

The Russian military regularly attacks Ukrainian regions with various types of weapons – attack UAVs, rockets, anti-aircraft missiles, and anti-aircraft missiles.

The leadership of Russia denies that the Russian army during a full-scale war inflicts targeted strikes on the civilian infrastructure of the cities and villages of Ukraine, killing the civilian population and destroying hospitals, schools, kindergartens, energy and water supply facilities.

The Ukrainian authorities and international organizations qualify these strikes as war crimes by the Russian Federation and emphasize that they are purposeful in nature.
