Russian forces have once again engaged in the Zaporizhzhia region, launching another missile attack on the regional center
On the evening of May 6, Zaporizhzhia was struck by unmanned aerial vehicles of a strike type, causing extensive damage and disrupting the city’s vital functions. According to Iван Федоров, head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration, the attack resulted in a fire in one of the city’s districts and inflicted significant damage to infrastructure objects, including buildings and structures. Official sources report that people are likely under the rubble, and information about casualties is being clarified. Currently, the scene is enclosed by rescue workers and law enforcement officers, who are conducting search and rescue operations and assessing the extent of the destruction. Preliminary data indicates that the attack targeted critical infrastructure facilities of the city, which could have serious consequences for energy supply and residents' vital activities. Confirmed reports state that this attack occurred during a period when active defensive operations are ongoing across Ukraine, and Russian forces continue to provoke and deliver targeted strikes on key objects and populated areas. The local authorities urge residents not to panic and to follow established safety measures, as the situation remains tense and unpredictable. Government institutions and law enforcement are currently working to establish all the circumstances of the incident. Once again, so-called "no man's land" and "frontline" regions face aggression—another manifestation of Russia’s biased desire to increase pressure on civilians and destroy Ukraine’s vital infrastructure. More detailed information regarding casualties, the extent of damage, and subsequent governmental actions will be released later.
