#Zaporizhzhia

Russia launched a deadly airstrike on Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region early on August 6, killing at least two civilians and injuring 12 others—including four children—in a targeted attack on a local resort facility, according to regional officials. The strike is part of a sharp escalation in Russian assaults across the region over the past 24 hours.

In a deadly airstrike, Russian forces bombed a correctional facility in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region using guided aerial bombs, killing 17 inmates and injuring more than 40.

Russia has abducted thousands of Ukrainian children, stripping them of their identities, indoctrinating them, and transferring them to Russia, Belarus, or occupied Ukrainian territories. There, many of these kids are trained and deployed to Ukraine’s frontlines as soldiers in the Russian army.
