Russian forces launched a series of drone and guided aerial bomb attacks on Zaporizhzhya overnight on August 24-25, causing significant damage to an apartment building and several nonresidential structures, according to regional authorities. At least two people were reported killed in the assault, stated Zaporizhzhya Oblast Governor Ivan Fedorov.
One of the strikes utilized a guided aerial bomb, as Fedorov added. The attack resulted in a fire breaking out inside one of the damaged high-rise apartments. As of the latest update, no additional casualties had been reported. The assault is believed to be part of a series of recent Russian strikes on the city. On August 23, Russian forces targeted a shopping center in Zaporizhzhya, injuring a 49-year-old man.
Two days prior, on August 21, Russian forces twice attacked passenger minibuses in the city, leaving at least three individuals with serious injuries. In the first incident, a Russian drone penetrated the roof of a minibus, shattering all its windows, but no passengers were harmed. Fedorov later released footage showing another drone striking a minibus at a busy intersection as passengers were boarding.
