Russian attacks on Zaporizhzhia injure six people, including a 2-year-old child

Russian forces attacked Zaporizhzhia, a south-eastern Ukrainian city close to the front line, with guided aerial bombs (known as KABs) on the evening of 14 November. Several high-rise residential buildings and dozens of cars were damaged, and a fire broke out in one of the buildings. Six people were injured, including a small child.

The attack was reported by Mykhailo Semikin, acting head of the Zaporizhzhia regional military administration, and Ivan Fedorov, co-chair of the Zaporizhzhia regional Defence Council.

The number of strikes rose

Semikin first reported eight strikes on the city. According to him, the glazing of an apartment building and parked cars were damaged, and a fire started at the point of impact. At that stage, five people were reported injured. It was then known that Russia had launched at least eight guided aerial bombs at the city, and windows were blown out in several multi-storey buildings.

Semikin later updated the information, saying the city had been hit 12 times. The number of injured rose to six. The victims are three women aged 40, 78 and 79, two men aged 19 and 39, and a 2-year-old child.

Earlier attack

Earlier on 14 November, a Russian strike on the Voznesenivskyi district of Zaporizhzhia injured 22 people, including three children.
