ISTANBUL
Ukraine said on Friday that a Russian drone attack on the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia injured at least 30 people and damaged civilian infrastructure, including 27 high-rise buildings.
Zaporizhzhia Governor Ivan Fedorov said on Telegram that 24 people injured in the attack will be treated on an outpatient basis, while six others remain in the regional hospital under medical supervision.
"Two, a man and a woman, are in serious condition," Fedorov further said, declaring that 27 high-rise buildings, more than 10 private houses, non-residential buildings, and educational institutions were damaged in the attack, which took place late Thursday.
He said a locomotive repair plant belonging to the state-owned railway company Ukrzaliznytsia was struck in the attack.
Ukrzaliznytsia also confirmed its plant in the city was hit, adding that nobody was killed or injured.
Fedorov went on to say that it will take several days to assess the condition of all the damaged buildings in the city, but that utility workers have begun work to address the damage.
Earlier, Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said search and rescue operations in the city have been completed.
"Russia continues to ignore all proposals for a ceasefire. The path to peace starts with pressure—sanctions, support for our defense, and unwavering unity to stop the killing and bring lasting stability," Ukraine's Foreign Ministry said on X regarding the attack.
Separately, Ukraine’s Air Force claimed that its air defenses shot down 64 out of 150 drones launched by Russia on the country overnight.
Moscow has not yet responded to the attack or the claims, but the Russian Defense Ministry has announced that it carried out seven group strikes on Ukrainian military targets over the past week, without mentioning the southeastern city.
Zaporizhzhia is 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the front line between Moscow and Kyiv and has been frequently hit by airstrikes during the Russia-Ukraine war, now in its fourth year.
