In a harrowing escalation of violence, Russian attacks claimed the lives of two individuals late Friday in Zaporizhzhia, a city in southeastern Ukraine. Reports indicate that the city endured more than ten strikes, resulting in not only fatalities but also injuries to nine others, including a nine-month-old infant. The regional governor, Ivan Fedorov, shared the grim details on Telegram, painting a vivid picture of destruction as rescue teams navigated through the debris of shattered homes.
Images circulating online reveal the extent of the devastation: flames flickering amidst the rubble of apartment buildings, shattered windows, and facades left in ruins. The toll continued to rise as Russian forces targeted other regions, with two casualties reported in the northern village of Krasnopillia, where guided bombs rained down, injuring at least two more.
In the eastern Donetsk region, a similar fate befell the town of Kostiantynivka, close to the frontline, where another bomb strike resulted in one death.
Meanwhile, the conflict’s reach extended into Russia, as an apartment building in Rostov-on-Don was struck by a Ukrainian drone, injuring two residents. Regional governor Yuri Slyusar reported that air defenses intercepted multiple drones, with no fatalities reported in the Voronezh region, where over ten drones were destroyed.
Amidst this turmoil, diplomatic efforts continue. The Kremlin recently disclosed that President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump discussed a 30-day ceasefire focused on energy targets. However, this agreement fell short of a broader ceasefire sought by the U.S. and accepted by Ukraine. Upcoming talks in Saudi Arabia aim to explore a more comprehensive resolution, as both sides grapple with the ongoing conflict’s heavy toll.
