Russia has struck an infrastructure facility in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region, according to Ivan Fedorov, head of the regional military administration.

As a result of the attack, more than 11,000 electricity consumers were left without power across two districts of the city. Preliminary information indicates that no civilians were injured in this particular strike.

However, Fedorov reported that five people were wounded in separate shelling attacks on the town of Vilniansk.

Over the past 24 hours, Russian forces carried out a total of 767 strikes on 42 populated areas across the Zaporizhzhia region. These attacks included 19 air strikes, 508 drone attacks using various types of unmanned aerial vehicles — mostly FPV drones — five strikes with multiple launch rocket systems, and 235 artillery strikes.

Authorities received 163 reports documenting damage to residential buildings, vehicles, and infrastructure facilities.

In another incident, a Russian drone strike damaged the inpatient ward of a medical facility, shattering windows in the building.

Meanwhile, in the city of Bohodukhiv in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region, a Russian drone hit the grounds of a private household, according to Oleh Syniehubov, head of the regional military administration. The strike sparked a fire at the site.

It was later confirmed that two one-year-old boys and a two-year-old girl were killed in the attack. A 34-year-old man who was inside the house with the children also died from his injuries.

Two women were wounded in the incident: a 35-year-old pregnant woman and a 74-year-old woman.
