Zaporizhzhia attack: number of injured rises to 50, including eight children

The number of people injured in a Russian attack on the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia on 13 November has risen to 50, including eight children. The strikes hit an industrial facility and a five-storey residential building in the city's Kosmichnyi district. Mykhailo Semikin, head of the Zaporizhzhia Oblast Military Administration, announced the updated figure on Telegram.

Casualty figures rise

Earlier reports said one man had been killed and 30 people injured, six of them children. Zaporizhzhia Oblast Patrol Police later reported that two people had died, including a 17-year-old.

Semikin stated that the number of injured had risen to 50, including eight children.

Threat to the city continues

The city is reportedly still under threat of guided aerial bomb, drone and multiple-launch rocket system strikes.

The attack follows an earlier strike the same day: on the morning of 13 November, Russian forces hit a residential area of Zaporizhzhia, killing a teenager and injuring four other people. Since then the number of casualties has grown sharply, and information about the consequences of the attack is still being updated.
