Russian forces launched a late-night strike on Zaporizhzhia on Jan. 29, hitting an industrial infrastructure facility and damaging a residential building, according to Ivan Fedorov, head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration.
According to Fedorov’s posts, around 10:00 PM there was a threat of guided aerial bombs (KABs) being used in Zaporizhzhia region, while drones were repeatedly detected over the regional center.
About 20 minutes later, it was reported that Russian forces had struck an industrial infrastructure facility, sparking a fire.
Roughly an hour later, the head of the regional administration said a residential building had also been hit. Preliminary reports indicate that one person was injured.
"As a result of the Russian attack, windows were blown out and balconies damaged in a high-rise building in one of Zaporizhzhia’s residential neighborhoods," Ivan Fedorov clarified shortly afterward.
In addition, Ivan Fedorov shared footage from a surveillance camera that captured the moment of the Russian strike.
