Russian attack on Zaporizhzhia industrial site kills 1, injures at least 30
Russian forces targeted an industrial facility in Zaporizhzhia on Jan. 8, killing one person and injuring at least 30, Governor Ivan Fedorov reported.
Fedorov did not specify the type of weaponry used in the attack but confirmed that the injured were transported to hospitals. "Seven medical teams, police, and emergency services are working at the site of the strike," he said.
Zaporizhzhia, home to approximately 710,000 residents before Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022, is frequently targeted by Russian forces.
The attack is part of a broader wave of Russian assaults across Ukraine. Regional authorities reported at least two civilian deaths and 13 injuries nationwide over the past day.
Overnight, Russia launched 64 Shahed-type attack drones and various dummy drones across Ukraine, according to the Ukrainian Air Force.
Air defenses intercepted 41 drones over nine oblasts. Of the remaining drones, 22 dummy drones were lost in Ukrainian airspace, three returned to Russia, and one flew to Belarus.
