Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia reports numerous Russian missile strikes

Officials have reported that a new wave of attacks is targeting the city’s energy infrastructure in the southeast as well as in Kharkiv.

Russian missile attacks have reportedly targeted Zaporizhzhia in the southeast and Kharkiv, the second-largest city in Ukraine, officials said.

Friday morning saw at least 17 Russian missile strikes on Zaporizhzhia in the space of an hour, according to the city’s acting mayor, Anatolii Kurtiev, who also noted that the missiles were aimed at energy infrastructure.

Another nighttime attack campaign by Russian forces resulted in the loss of electricity in some areas of Kharkiv.

“The occupiers hit critical infrastructure. There were about 10 explosions,” Kharkiv Governor Oleh Synehubov said on Telegram. “In some regions, there are power cuts. Emergency services are on site.”

There were no immediate words on casualties in either Zaporizhzhia or Kharkiv.

Russian forces have been advancing recently for the first time in half a year, in hard-fought battles that both sides describe as some of the bloodiest of the war.
