Russian troops carried out the drone attack on several Ukrainian cities, causing damage to civilian infrastructure, overnight into 29 September.
Russians launched more than ten attacks in Zaporizhzhia, injuring 13 people, including a 17-year-old boy, Governor Ivan Fedorov said. The massive attack on the city also damaged 13 residential buildings and 13 detached houses, Zaporizhzhia City Council reported.
The attack hit three districts of the city: Shevchenkivskyi, Komunarskyi, and Oleksandrivskyi.
Emergency services are currently conducting search and rescue operations. Rescuers found a woman under the rubble of the high-rise building, Fedorov said.
Two of the six injured have been hospitalized, according to the Governor.
Russian forces launched 22 Shahed-type strike UAVs against Ukraine overnight into 29 September from Yeysk, Kursk Oblast, and Chauda in Russian-occupied Crimea.
Ukraine’s defense forces downed 15 drones over Sumy, Vinnytsia, Mykolaiv, and Odesa oblasts. Five Russian drones were locationally lost due to electronic warfare countermeasures, presumably without consequences.
Four of the drones launched by Russia overnight were shot down over Mykolaiv Oblast. Russia hit an educational institution. There were no casualties, according to Governor Vitaly Kim.
