Two people killed and 10 injured in Zaporizhzhia by Russian strikes, says regional governor

Ivan Fedorov, the governor of Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, said that Russian attacks in the region killed two people, and injured 10, including four children. Fedorov reported that Russian forces launched 567 attacks in 16 settlements of the region over the course of 24 hours, from Wednesday morning to the next day. Zaporizhzhia was on the frontlines of the war Russia launched in February 2022 against its smaller neighbor.

Fedorov, a Telegram user, said that nine buildings had been damaged by the strikes in the Zaporizhzhia district. Zaporizhzhia is the administrative center of the region.

Fedorov stated that "Emergency Services continue to respond" on the ground.

The report could not be independently verified. Russia has not yet responded.

Both sides deny that they have targeted civilians when attacking each other's territories. The vast majority of the civilians killed in the conflict are Ukrainian. (Reporting and editing by Saad sayeed in Melbourne, Lidia Kelly from Melbourne)
