Russia launched a sweeping attack on Ukraine on Saturday, killing one person and injuring at least 24 others, including three children, in the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia. The attack also caused significant damage to infrastructure and residential buildings, authorities reported.
The assault, which involved more than 500 drones and 45 missiles, impacted 14 regions across Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that the attack caused widespread destruction, including damage to energy facilities in Zaporizhzhia, which left 25,000 residents without power.
Local authorities confirmed that repairs to the energy facility were already underway.
Zelenskyy condemned the timing of the attack, which came as diplomatic efforts to end the war continue to stall. Earlier this month, U.S. President Donald Trump met separately with both Russian and Ukrainian leaders, but no breakthrough was reached.
Ukrainian president reiterated that Trump’s self-imposed deadline for new measures against Russia is approaching, with two weeks remaining. He called for stronger sanctions on Russia’s banking and energy sectors in response to the continued violence.
The Ukrainian air force reported five missile and 24 drone hits at seven locations, with debris from the attack falling on 21 sites.
While the attack's full toll on infrastructure is still being assessed, Ukrainian state-owned railway Ukrzaliznytsia confirmed that damage to its infrastructure in Kyiv had been repaired as of early Saturday.
The ongoing conflict, which has caused severe human and economic tolls, continues despite international diplomatic efforts, leaving the future of peace talks uncertain.
