Five other Ukrainian cities hit on Thursday as well as civilian areas in Kherson, Dontesk and Luhansk regions
Seven rockets were fired into residential buildings in Zaporizhzhia before dawn on Thursday, killing at least one person, as Russia increased its attacks on Ukrainian-held cities amid losses by its troops on the battlefield.
The strike flattened an apartment building, and videos published by the Zaporizhzhia regional administration showed rescue workers at the scene, with some people still believed to be under the rubble. The city’s mayor, Anatoliy Kuratyev, said 21 people had been saved, including a three-year-old girl.
