Russian forces dropped five guided aerial bombs on residential areas of Zaporizhzhia on Saturday, killing 20 people, including three children, Ukrainian officials said. Ukraine’s State Emergency Service reported that 18 others, including three children, were injured.
The strikes damaged 26 residential buildings, and one apartment block was largely destroyed after its ground floor was hit and the floors above collapsed, acting Mayor Regina Kharchenko said. More than 80 emergency workers searched the rubble for survivors as the death toll rose through the day. One woman was trapped beneath the rubble of a collapsed building for eight hours.
Russia also attacked other parts of Ukraine. Kyiv faced drones targeting energy infrastructure followed by missiles, with Mayor Vitali Klitschko reporting at least seven injuries in the capital’s Obolon district. Ukrainian authorities also reported deaths and injuries in the Kherson, Kharkiv and Donetsk regions.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy linked the Zaporizhzhia attack to a U.S. decision announced Friday to ease sanctions so the United States could import Russian diesel. He called the agreement a “gift” to Russian President Vladimir Putin and said Moscow interpreted reduced pressure as permission to continue attacking. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas also criticized the diesel deal, saying it would provide Moscow with additional war revenue.
