It was previously reported that yesterday, Wednesday, around four o'clock in the afternoon, Russian terrorists struck Zaporizhzhia with guided bombs. Two guided bombs hit residential buildings in the Shevchenkivskyi district of the city, with the impact occurring on the central street of the residential area.
Initially, there were reports of three injured and one casualty, but the number of victims and injuries rapidly increased throughout the day and evening. It is also known that a 13-year-old girl was among the injured. Additionally, police paramedics rescued 5 people.

President Vladimir Zelensky reacted to the Russian airstrike on Zaporizhzhia. The head of state emphasized that there is nothing more brutal than dropping bombs on a city, knowing that ordinary civilians will suffer.
Moreover, the Russians have devised a cynical "justification" for their strike with guided bombs on Zaporizhzhia. Kremlin propagandists blamed everything on the "Ukrainian Air Defense Forces."
