Ukrainian authorities in Zaporizhzhia said on Saturday (July 29) that at least two people were killed in a Russian missile strike on the south-eastern city.
Anatoliy Kurtiev, the city’s council secretary, wrote on the messaging app Telegram that a man and a woman were killed and that the explosion wave damaged windows in nearby apartment blocks.
Kurtiev said the blast wave broke windows in 13 high-rise buildings and an educational institution.
The Zaporizhzhia region in Ukraine’s east and southeast has seen fierce combat throughout much of the 17 months since Moscow invaded its neighbour, with Kyiv’s forces fighting to liberate areas Russian forces now occupy.
