At least 17 people including a child died when seven Russian
missiles struck the industrial town of Zaporizhzhia in southern Ukraine, the
Ukrainian authorities said Saturday.
The missiles struck before dawn on Thursday, with three
landing in the town centre, just 40 kilometres (25 miles) from the artillery
battles of the southern front.
“In total, 17 people were killed,” Ukraine’s State Emergency
Service said on Telegram, adding that one of them was a child.
The toll has repeatedly risen since an initial tally of one
dead. Earlier on Saturday, it had stood at 14.
A five-storey residential building on the main street was
almost razed to the ground.
President Volodymyr Zelensky lashed out on Telegram saying
Zaporizhzhia “is subjected to massive rocket attacks every day... (it’s a)
deliberate crime”.
The Ukrainian-controlled city is located in the eponymous
Zaporizhzhia region, also home to the Russian-occupied nuclear plant that has
been the site of heavy shelling.
Moscow claims to have annexed the region even though its
forces do not control all of it.
Ukraine said at least 30 people were killed last week when a
convoy of civilian cars in the Zaporizhzhia region was shelled in an attack
Kyiv blamed on Moscow.
