“A 46-year-old man was killed, while women aged 43, 49, 61, 87, and 91 were injured as a result of Russian attacks on Zaporizhzhia city and the Zaporizhzhia and Polohy districts,” Fedorov wrote on his Telegram channel.

These included 15 airstrikes targeting Zaporizhzhia city and the settlements of Ternuvate, Nove Pole, Lisne, Barvinivka, Orikhiv, Zaliznychne, Sviatopetrivka, Rizdviane, and Vozdvyzhivka.

In addition, five multiple-launch rocket system (MLRS) attacks were reported in Tavriiske, Stepove, Huliaipole, and Zaliznychne, while 232 artillery strikes hit residential areas and civilian infrastructure across a wide swath of the region.
Local authorities said emergency services were responding to the aftermath of the attacks, documenting damage and providing assistance to affected residents.
Earlier, reports emerged that Russian leader Vladimir Putin has ordered the military to continue its offensive toward Zaporizhzhia and to expand a so-called “buffer zone” along Ukraine’s northern border.
