Russian forces struck Zaporizhzhia, a city in southeastern Ukraine, on 26 October 2026, during Russia's full-scale war against the country. The attack left people injured, damaged private homes and started a fire at one of the impact sites.
The information was published on social media by Mykhailo Semikin, acting head of the Zaporizhzhia regional military administration. He said: "As a result of the attack, private houses, cars and a commercial building were damaged. A fire broke out at the site of one of the strikes."
