Zelenskyy: One dead, 26 injured in Zaporizhia strike
One person was killed and 26 were injured, including a baby, as a result of a missile and drone attack by Russian occupiers on the city of Zaporizhia on the night of Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
"At night, the Russian army fired missiles and drones at Zaporizhia. These were strikes on residential areas and infrastructure. At the moment, one person is known to have died as a result of this terror. Some 26 people were injured, including a two-month-old child," Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram on Thursday morning.
According to him, rescuers who eliminated the consequences of the first strike were injured during the repeated shelling.
"All relevant services are working on the spot. They are doing everything to help people as much as possible," the head of state said.
The President emphasized the need to increase pressure on the Russian Federation due to daily terror. "We need major sanctions against Russia, more air defense to protect our cities and communities, and weapons for our soldiers at the front. Support for Ukraine is what saves lives and cannot wait," Zelenskyy added.
