Russian forces attacked Zaporizhzhia again on the evening of November 22, damaging a supermarket and residential buildings. Casualties have been reported, informs Ivan Fedorov, head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration.
Around 8:00 PM Kyiv time, he warned of a potential threat from high-speed missiles targeting the region, and explosions were reported shortly afterward.
Later, Fedorov said the Russian strike hit a residential area.
"Russian forces struck a residential neighborhood—where people are simply living their lives. Where safety and quiet should prevail. Now there is debris, smoke, damaged buildings, cars, and a store," he stated.
Footage released shows that one of the local supermarkets was hit.
