Quote: "The aim of these strikes is obvious – to spread panic ahead of winter, particularly in regions far from the front line."

Details: Lviv and Zaporizhzhia oblasts have suffered the most from the attack. In Lviv Oblast, the Russians destroyed a house, killing four people, including a 15-year-old girl. Early reports suggest there may be people trapped under the rubble. Efforts to dismantle the ruins are ongoing.

One person was killed and over 10 were injured in the city of Zaporizhzhia. Residential buildings, energy facilities and an oncology centre have been damaged.

More than 110,000 consumers have been left without electricity in various oblasts. In order to deal with the aftermath and document the crimes, Ukraine has deployed over 1,000 emergency workers and police officers, specifically bomb disposal experts, investigators, dog handlers, psychologists and emergency rescue teams.

Law enforcement agencies have received over 250 reports of damage in Zaporizhzhia and 140 in Lviv. Nearly 400 invincibility centres, heated premises stocked with food and power banks to assist residents facing hardships due to power cuts, are operating across the country.
