Russian strikes killed civilians, including three children, in Ukraine’s southern Zaporizhzhia region on Saturday, Ukrainian officials said, a day after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a diesel agreement with Russia.
The reported death toll varied among outlets. The South China Morning Post said at least 20 people were killed in the region, citing Ukrainian officials, while France 24 and CBC reported 15 deaths. Yahoo reported seven. France 24 described the attack as hitting the city of Zaporizhzhia, while the South China Morning Post referred more broadly to the surrounding region.
Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said Russian aerial bombs struck residential buildings and that at least 18 people were wounded, according to the South China Morning Post. The outlet also reported that missiles hit Kyiv in a daytime attack, wounding four people, citing Mayor Vitalii Klitschko.
Trump’s announcement was variously described as a deal to buy Russian diesel and as an easing or lifting of sanctions on the fuel. Kyiv warned that the agreement could provide revenue for Moscow’s war. The South China Morning Post said the move contrasted with a broad sanctions law Trump signed the previous month targeting Russian oil and gas income.
