Russian Attack on Zaporizhzhia

On Wednesday, January 8, Russian aviation carried out a strike on Zaporizhzhia, resulting in two explosions. Initially, three injuries and one death were reported.

Russian propagandists quickly responded to the attack, shifting the blame for the explosions onto the Ukrainian air defense.

Yesterday, Fedorov explained that the increase in casualties was due to the fact that the shelling occurred precisely when people were returning home from work.
