KYIV: A Russian drone strike killed three people and wounded three more overnight in Ukraine’s southeastern Zaporizhzhia region, the regional governor and emergency services said on Thursday.
Two women aged 26 and 50 and a 62-year-old man were killed in the attack, Ukraine’s emergency services said, adding that one private building had been destroyed and several others damaged.
Emergency services posted photos on the Telegram messaging app of firefighters battling a raging fire and a flattened building.
Overall, in the past 24 hours Russia has launched 841 strikes at 34 settlements in the region, Governor Ivan Fedorov said.
Russian forces occupy large swathes of territory in Zaporizhzhia and have been making recent gains there. It is one of four Ukrainian regions that Russia claims to have annexed since it launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
