KYIV: Russia fired five missiles on Ukraine’s southern city of Zaporizhzhia on Friday, killing at least three people and damaging several residential buildings and industrial facility, the regional governor said.
“What marks today’s strikes: first, there were two missile strikes, and then, about 40 minutes later, there were other strikes at the same place - just as rescuers, police started working,” Ivan Fedorov said on national TV.
Thirteen people were wounded, including a nine-year old boy, and four were hospitalized in grave condition. Two journalists were among the wounded in the city, which is near the frontline in the war with Russian forces.
At least three apartment blocks, 10 private houses, shops and an unidentified industrial facility were damaged, he added.
