Russia has increased the number of attacks on the Zaporizhzhia region, according to the Telegram channel of the head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration, Ivan Fedorov.
According to the administration, over the past day, Russian occupation forces carried out 755 attacks on 13 settlements in the Zaporizhzhia region.
The administration said that Russian troops carried out eight airstrikes on Hryhorivka, Veselianka, Prymorske, Uspenivka, and Poltavka.
In addition, 508 drones of various types, mostly FPV, attacked Chervonodniprovka, Bilenke, Prymorske, Stepove, Huliaipole, Novodanilivka, Mala Tokmachka, and Charivne.
Three MLRS strikes also hit Novoandriivka, Mala Tokmachka, and Poltavka. Meanwhile, 236 artillery strikes were recorded in Chervonodniprovka, Bilenke, Prymorske, Stepove, Huliaipole, Novodanilivka, Mala Tokmachka, and Charivne.
The Zaporizhzhia police received 12 reports of damage to residential buildings and vehicles, indicating extensive destruction of civilian infrastructure.
Local authorities are urging residents to follow safety measures and, whenever possible, remain in protected areas.
Recall that on the night of October 10, Russian forces attacked private homes and infrastructure facilities in Zaporizhzhia. As a result, a 7-year-old boy was killed, and his father, who had spent three years in captivity, is now hospitalized. The family had only recently purchased the house, which has now been destroyed by the Russian attack.
The city's gas infrastructure was also damaged, but pressure in the network was quickly stabilized.
