Russian Drone Strike Sets Zaporizhzhia Apartment Building Ablaze
A Russian drone struck a residential building in Zaporizhzhia overnight, setting apartments on fire as authorities assessed casualties and damage.
On Friday morning, a Russian drone targeted a multi-story residential building in Zaporizhzhia, igniting a blaze that engulfed several apartments. The Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration head, Ivan Fedorov, released footage depicting the inferno that had erupted.
Fedorov informed that the fire was a direct consequence of the enemy strike on Zaporizhzhia. The authorities are still evaluating the scale of the destruction and whether any casualties had occurred. Preliminary reports indicate that no injuries have been reported so far.
The region was on high alert due to the looming threat of Russian attack drones. Earlier that day, a separate Russian drone targeted a civilian vehicle in Bilenke, a village within the Zaporizhzhia district. The attack resulted in the death of a man and the injury of a woman, as per Fedorov's statement.
In a display of relentless aggression, Russian forces have been perpetuating their assaults on the region. Within the past 24 hours alone, Moscow's troops unleashed 957 strikes on 52 settlements in the Zaporizhzhia region, according to Ukrainian regional authorities.
