Zaporizhzhia airstrikes kill 17 as Russia intensifies attacks across Ukraine
Zaporizhzhia was hit by deadly Russian airstrikes on Saturday, 10 October, killing at least 17 people, including three children, Ukrainian officials said. Rescuers searched rubble for survivors as the city faced renewed strikes on residential areas.
On Saturday, 10 October, guided aerial bombs targeted residential areas in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, resulting in at least 17 fatalities, including three children, and 18 injuries, according to Ukrainian authorities. Emergency services rushed to the scene, clearing debris, evacuating residents from damaged buildings, and transporting the injured to hospitals.
The relentless assault followed a surge in Russian strikes across Ukraine, which have claimed over 60 lives in just four days. Kyiv also bore the brunt of the aggression on Saturday, with four people injured in missile strikes, as reported by the city's mayor. These attacks came in the wake of US President Donald Trump's announcement of a deal to purchase Russian diesel fuel.
Kyiv cautioned that the agreement could provide financial support to Moscow's war efforts. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned Russia for leveraging any relaxation in economic sanctions to perpetuate the hostilities. The conflict, now in its fourth year, shows no signs of abating, with the front lines remaining largely unchanged despite the relentless bombardment.
