Russian forces have carried out an attack on Zaporizhzhia region, resulting in a serious humanitarian and infrastructural crisis in the area
According to official sources, as a result of the airstrike, civilians in the village of Verkhny Tersa, located in the northern part of Zaporizhzhia region, were affected. Fortunately, despite the scale of destruction and danger, significant human losses were avoided; however, two local residents were injured and urgently transported to medical facilities for necessary assistance. The head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional State Administration, Ivan Fedorov, reported on his Telegram channel that a popular settlement in the region was subjected to destruction. "After the airstrike, one residential building in Verkhny Tersa was destroyed. A fire that broke out as a result of the strike damaged several neighboring structures. Relevant services are working at the scene, and the situation is being clarified," he noted. According to Fedorov, two civilians were injured: a 53-year-old woman and a 21-year-old young man. They received medical assistance on site; their lives do not currently threaten them. However, their psychological state remains tense due to the stress experienced. Details of the incident are being investigated, and relevant services are working to clarify the extent of the destruction and the causes of the attack. This latest act of aggression by Russia has not only caused material damage but also added to the ongoing difficulties for the local population, which has become accustomed to constant threats and destruction. The Ukrainian armed forces continue to take necessary measures to protect the territories and prevent further attacks by the occupiers. Meanwhile, local authorities urge residents to remain cautious, report suspicious signs, and stay aware of rising tensions in the region. Public resonance is driven not only by this current incident but also by a broader criminal and unprecedented violation of international norms, which Russia continues to perpetrate, deliberately destroying civilian populations and infrastructure in Zaporizhzhia region. Ukrainian leaders are calling on international organizations to intensify support and increase pressure on the aggressor country to prevent further escalation of the conflict and to protect civilian lives.
