                Twenty people were injured when Russian forces launched guided aerial bomb strikes on the city of Zaporizhzhia, targeting the central bus station and the university clinic, Ukrainian emergency services reported.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed the attack locations in a post on X. The bus station, which was the epicentre of the strike, suffered approximately 70% structural damage. Nearby residential buildings and commercial facilities, including shops, a pharmacy, and a gas station, were also damaged.
At the time of the attack, 11 staff members and two passengers were present at the bus station. Several were injured and pulled from the rubble, including one bus driver who was taken to hospital by ambulance, according to Ihor Stepanovych, head of the Zaporizhzhia bus station.
Local residents reported hearing powerful explosions that shattered windows in nearby apartment buildings. At least seven residential buildings in the Komunarsky and Oleksandrivsky districts were damaged. Emergency teams have begun surveying the area to assess the full extent of the damage.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked first responders, medics, police officers, and emergency services for their prompt reaction. Rescue and recovery operations continue in the affected areas.
Zelenskyy confirmed that Russian forces carried out attacks across multiple regions of Ukraine on the same day. He said Russia “does not want to stop the killings” and is focused on “finding a way to kill Ukraine.”
He criticised Moscow for failing to take genuine steps towards peace and called for increased sanctions and international pressure. Zelenskyy emphasised the importance of support from the United States, Europe, and other nations seeking peace and stability, stating: “If Russia does not want to stop the war, then its economy must be stopped.”
Specialists from Zaporizhzhimservice enterprise, the State Emergency Service, Civil Aviation Administration, and district authorities are involved in damage control and recovery efforts. Measures include boarding up broken windows in affected apartment buildings. Charitable organisations are also providing assistance.
