Zelensky also reported fresh attacks in other Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, Kherson and Kharkiv, saying critical infrastructure and civilian facilities were affected.
At least six people were killed and 19 others wounded after Russian forces launched a major overnight attack on Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, involving ballistic missiles, Zircon missiles, guided aerial bombs and more than 120 drones, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said.
Zelensky, in a statement on Tuesday, said emergency response operations had continued since the previous night following the attack, which he described as a deliberate assault targeting civilian infrastructure.
“Emergency response efforts have been ongoing since last night to deal with the aftermath of the Russian strike on Zaporizhzhia. The city was struck with North Korean ballistic missiles, Zircons, and guided aerial bombs. It was a vicious attack, calculated to inflict maximum damage specifically on civilian infrastructure,” the Ukrainian president said.
He disclosed that six people had so far been confirmed dead while 19 others sustained injuries in the attack.
