Russian guided bombs hit Zaporizhzhia apartment building, killing 4, injuring 4

Russian guided aerial bombs struck a five-story apartment building in Zaporizhzhia on Oct. 10, resulting in the deaths of four people and injuries to four others, according to regional officials. The structure sustained partial damage, leading to the collapse of sections on the second floor, as reported by Mykhailo Semikin, the acting head of the Zaporizhzhia Oblast Military Administration.

Three individuals suffered minor injuries, while one person was hospitalized, with their condition yet to be determined. Rescue workers successfully extricated two residents from the rubble, including a woman and a man. Semikin stated that another person may still be trapped under the debris, as search-and-rescue operations were ongoing.

The attack was disclosed by Ukraine's Air Force around 5 a.m. local time, following a warning from the same source at approximately 5 a.m. The full extent of the damage remained uncertain as the rescue efforts persisted. This incident occurred a day after Russian guided aerial bombs targeted residential areas in Zaporizhzhia on Oct.

9, resulting in at least one fatality and injuries to seven people, including a child. Russian forces have consistently targeted Zaporizhzhia, a southeastern Ukrainian city near the front line, with guided aerial bombs, drones, and missiles since the onset of their full-scale invasion in February 2022. The regional capital remains under Ukrainian control.
