Zaporizhzhia has once again come under missile attack: suicide drone strikes with “Shahed” drones — two police officers injured and infrastructure damaged
On the night of June 14, residents of Zaporizhzhia experienced a tragic event again — Russian occupiers launched a large-scale missile strike using 14 "Shahed" unmanned aerial vehicles. This night became one of the most challenging in recent times, as the attack not only resulted in injuries to two local law enforcement officers but also damaged critical infrastructure and civilian vehicles. According to official information provided by Ivan Fedorov, head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration, the attack began before dawn. Russian forces, attacking from the sky over the city, deployed several kamikaze drones, causing widespread chaos and destruction. As reported by the regional head, during the morning attack, two police officers were wounded and promptly hospitalized. In addition to the personal losses among law enforcement personnel, debris and the shockwave caused destruction across regional districts of the city. Several vital facilities were affected by the missile strike, including a humanitarian enterprise, vehicles, a local store, and a public transport stop. Fedorov emphasized that the blast wave shattered windows in many apartment buildings on the outskirts, raising additional concerns among residents. According to the regional military administration representative, the situation is currently stabilized, but the city still remains on high alert. Rescue services, investigative teams, and specialists assessing the damage are working at the scene. Authorities urge citizens to be cautious and follow safety rules, as the threat of new attacks remains high. Zaporizhzhia is no stranger to drone attacks, and its residents know well that missile terrorism continues to be one of the main dangers in the region. Local authorities call for vigilance and steadfast support of defense measures to counter threats and restore the damaged infrastructure. This night serves as a further reminder of the high level of aggression and cynicism that the invaders employ in their deliberate intimidation tactics against the Ukrainian population. All relevant services are already working to eliminate the consequences of this destructive attack, and the public is urged to remain calm and adhere to safety protocols during this difficult time.
