Russian glide bomb attack on Zaporizhzhia leaves two dead and 21 injured

A Russian airstrike targeting the southeastern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia killed at least two people and injured 21 others, according to local officials.

Ivan Fedorov, head of the Zaporizhzhia regional military administration, reported on Telegram that Russian forces deployed two glide bombs during the strike. The detonations caused significant destruction, damaging several residential buildings in the area. Emergency service teams responded to the site to clear rubble and provide medical assistance to injured residents.

Russian military forces have increasingly utilized heavy guided glide bombs to hit Ukrainian infrastructure and urban centers across southern and eastern regions. Ukrainian authorities continue to appeal to international partners for additional air defense capabilities to mitigate long-range aerial strikes.
