On October 9, a Russian glide bomb attack in Zaporizhzhya resulted in one fatality and nine injuries, including a 14-year-old child, according to Mykhailo Semikin, the Head of the Zaporizhzhya Regional Military Administration. Semikin stated that Russian forces conducted six bombing raids on Zaporizhzhya during the morning assault.
"The attack struck a residential area," Semikin reported. "One of the strikes landed close to an after-school educational center." Earlier, on October 8, a Russian FPV drone targeted the Zaporizhzhya Regional Council building, striking the Ukrainian coat of arms displayed on the exterior. The impact generated significant smoke but did not ignite a fire.
Preliminary assessments suggest no casualties from this incident. On the night of October 7, Russian forces targeted transport infrastructure in Zaporizhzhya, prompting authorities to temporarily halt traffic across the city's cable-stayed bridge.
