Russian attack on Zaporizhzhia
On Wednesday, January 8, Russian aviation launched a strike on Zaporizhzhia, resulting in two explosions. Initially, reports indicated three injured and one fatality.
Russian propagandists quickly responded to the attack by shifting the blame for the explosions onto Ukrainian air defense.
Yesterday, Fedorov explained that the number of casualties increased because the shelling occurred when people were returning home from work.
