Russian attack kills 5 in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia
The number of casualties continues to rise as Russia increasingly deploys long-range missiles against Ukrainian cities.
On Tuesday, a Russian attack in Ukraine's southeastern Zaporizhzhia claimed the lives of five individuals and left 24 others injured, according to regional authorities. The attack, characterized as a ballistic missile strike by officials, prompted explosions in Kyiv, which were reported by AFP journalists. Mayor Vitali Klitschko announced via social media that Kyiv was under a ballistic missile attack, with emergency services dispatched to Shevchenkivsky district.
Residents of Zaporizhzhia also experienced damage to industrial facilities and infrastructure, with a garage cooperative and residential buildings affected. President Volodymyr Zelensky had previously informed the public of Russia's preparations to deploy additional North Korean troops and receive new ballistic missiles from Pyongyang.
The escalating missile strikes by Russia have been met with increasing Ukrainian retaliatory strikes against Russian cities far from the border, as Moscow bolsters its ongoing conflict with external support.
