Two buildings and a church destroyed following Russian attack on Zaporizhzhya
Two building entrances and a church have been destroyed, as seen in photos of the aftermath of Russia's devastating missile strike on Zaporizhzhya published by the Prosecutor General of Ukraine’s office.
Russia launched six missile strikes on various areas of the city at 1:30 a.m. Two people were killed, three were injured, and three are currently missing.
Russian forces shelled the city with S-300 surface-to-air missile systems, regional governor Yuriy Malashko stated. One of the missiles hit a multi-story apartment building, shattering windows in nearby buildings, partially destroying city infrastructure, and damaging a local church.
Two entrances to the apartment building were destroyed, which houses eight apartments. After search and rescue operations are completed, the building will be preserved and later restored.
The Zaporizhzhya Regional Prosecutor's Office has initiated a pre-trial investigation into the missile shelling.
Investigative activities are ongoing, and information regarding the number of casualties will be updated.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
