Quote from Fedorov: "Seven people were killed and another 20 injured as a result of enemy strikes on Zaporizhzhia as well as the Zaporizhzhia and Polohy districts.

Overall, the occupiers conducted 974 strikes on 56 settlements across Zaporizhzhia Oblast throughout the day."

Details: Fedorov said Russian forces had launched 30 aerial strikes, deployed 684 drones, mostly FPVs, and conducted 260 artillery attacks.

The settlements targeted by aerial strikes included Zaporizhzhia, Novomykolaivka, Trudove, Malokaterynivka, Veselianka, Myrivka, Rozumivka, Tavriiske and Novooleksandrivka. Russian drones also struck Zaporizhzhia, Kushuhum, Komyshuvakha, Stepnohirsk, Orikhiv, Huliaipilske and dozens of other settlements.

Two people were killed in Russian attacks on Mykolaiv Oblast, while another man suffered critical injuries.

Kim said Russian Shahed or Gerbera drones had attacked port infrastructure in the Mykolaiv district. A 61-year-old man was killed and two civilian vessels were damaged.

Another strike hit premises belonging to an agricultural business in the Novyi Buh hromada. A 67-year-old man was killed, while a 65-year-old man was taken to hospital in a critical but stable condition. Warehouses and vehicles were also damaged. [A hromada is an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town, and their adjacent territories – ed.]

In the evening, Russian forces attacked the Ochakiv hromada with a loitering munition believed to be a Lancet. A petrol station building was damaged, but no casualties were reported.
