One killed, seven injured in overnight drone attack on Zaporizhzhia
Preliminary information indicates that Russian forces carried out five strikes on the city.
Fedorov said the attack sparked fires in a residential building and a shopping center. An educational facility was also damaged.
"Nine residential buildings and several non-residential structures were damaged in the overnight enemy attack in Zaporizhzhia's Oleksandrivskyi and Kosmichnyi districts. These include five apartment buildings and four private homes," Fedorov said.
According to him, the blast wave shattered windows and damaged roofs. By morning, emergency crews had boarded up broken windows in five apartment buildings, three private homes, and one non-residential building with OSB panels.
Ukraine's State Emergency Service reported that one person was killed in the overnight strike. Fedorov also said that seven people sought medical treatment following the attack.
Emergency response crews have completed the initial phase of recovery work. Additional efforts to address broken windows will continue in response to resident requests.
