A deadly overnight attack by Russian forces on a correctional facility in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region has left 16 people dead and more than 35 injured, as Kyiv accuses Moscow of escalating aerial assaults on civilian areas.
According to regional military officials and Zaporizhzhia Governor Ivan Fedorov on Tuesday morning (29 July), the facility’s buildings were destroyed, and nearby homes suffered damage.
"The victims are being provided all necessary medical assistance," the governor reported. He did not specify how many inmates or prison staff members may have been among the casualties.
Since the start of its full-scale invasion in 2022, Moscow has frequently targeted Zaporizhzhia using drones, missiles, and high-explosive aerial bombs.
Fedorov reported eight separate strikes in the latest attack.
There was no immediate comment from the Russian side.
Both Russia and Ukraine deny intentionally targeting civilians.
