Later, reports emerged that the person was taken from under the rubble alive. Services are taking the survivor to the hospital.
As previously reported, this is not the first recent attack on the city of Zaporizhzhia. Earlier, a Russian guided aerial bomb destroyed a private home in the city, killing one person.
In that incident, emergency responders rescued a 22-year-old man alive from beneath the rubble.
Before that, Russian forces also launched a large-scale attack targeting several regions simultaneously, including Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, and Dnipropetrovsk.
Dozens of people were injured in that attack.
