On August 11, a Russian missile strike in Zaporizhzhya left at least six people dead and twenty more injured. The attack, which occurred overnight, caused extensive damage to residential and non-residential buildings, igniting fires and cutting off power to parts of the city. Inna, a local resident, recounted the terror of witnessing the missiles "flying right over our apartments" in the city center.
She described the destruction, saying, "The car, the trailer, there's a new kitchen there... We had a Zaporozhets [car] parked there, but now it's in this condition... It's a vintage car from my father, practically new, barely any mileage. We didn't manage to move it to the dacha in time. I don't know how we're going to deal with all this."
The Russian forces utilized Zircon missiles, Iskander-M ballistic missiles, and North Korean KN-23 missiles during the assault, none of which were intercepted. According to the Telegram channel Nikolaevskiy Vanek, simultaneous strikes were reported using guided aerial bombs and North Korean ballistic missiles.
