Russian Strike on Zaporizhzhia: Eight Apartment Buildings Destroyed, 10-Year-Old Boy Wounded.

Assault on Zaporizhzhia

According to Novyny.live: On June 6, Russian forces targeted civilian infrastructure in the city of Zaporizhzhia, leveling eight multi-story residential buildings and injuring two people, including a 10-year-old boy. One of the strikes hit the roof of a supermarket, triggering a fire that spread to a nearby high-rise.

The attack damaged at least eight apartment buildings and several non-residential structures. The 10-year-old boy sustained shrapnel wounds and was hospitalized. The child’s father was also injured. During the night of June 5–6, Russian troops launched drone strikes against Zaporizhzhia. Two employees of a local enterprise were killed in the shelling.

Aftermath of the Shelling

Separately, on June 5, at least 16 people were hurt in a bombardment, among them a 9-year-old child. One woman later died in the hospital from severe injuries. District administration workers are continuing to document the destruction, while municipal crews have already begun clearing debris and repairing damage. Charitable organizations are also providing assistance.

“I am deeply grateful to everyone who has been saving lives and offering support from the very first moments of this crisis,” said Ivan Fedorov.

This incident has left Zaporizhzhia with extensive damage, raising alarm among local residents and government authorities. Emergency services remain on site at the impact points to ensure safety and aid the victims.

The attack on Zaporizhzhia stands as yet another example of ongoing military aggression that continues to harm civilians and destroy infrastructure. The casualties—including children—highlight the growing danger faced by non-combatants in the conflict. While first responders and charities are working quickly to address the situation, the destruction will require long-term recovery efforts and support from both the state and international organizations.
