“In one of Zaporizhzhia’s districts, a fire broke out following a Russian attack. The full extent of the damage is still being assessed,” Fedorov wrote on Telegram.

He added that a 69-year-old woman was critically wounded. Medics attempted to resuscitate her, but she did not survive.

Previously, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated on Easter morning, April 20, that while Russia is trying to create the illusion of a general ceasefire, it continues to carry out localized offensives in certain areas, causing losses among Ukrainian forces.

He made the remarks in a Telegram post following a frontline update from Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi.
