Rescuers were called to a building that had been damaged by drones in the Zaporizhzhia city, finding four people injured at the scene, including a child, while the blast wave debris had damaged a multi-apartment building and an infrastructure object.
Later on the 24th February, it was confirmed that two women, aged 34 and 45, two men aged 33 and 53, as well as a six-year-old child, were injured as a result of the attack.
Head of the Zaporizhzhia State Administration Ivan Fedorov noted that 6 attacks occurred in the region overnight, one of them causing a fire to break out at the city’s infrastructure.
Many multi-story buildings and energy infrastructure facilities were damaged, while another two drones further damaged residential buildings which utility workers had begun to clear up.
An 87-year-old man had come forward with injuries as a result of last night’s attack on Komishuavasi with guided aerial bombs, which caused severe damage and a fire to break out at the premises of an agricultural enterprise.
“A man was killed as a result of a hostile attack on the Polohivskyi district,” Fedorov reported on Telegram on February 23 at around 14:40: “The Russians hit a private building in Orikhiv with a drone. The building was damaged by an explosive wave and debris. A 71-year-old man was killed.”
Trains between Dnipro and Zaporizhzhia were being replaced with bus transfers due to the security situation, mainly affecting the Lviv-Zaporizhzhzia-Lviv, Yasinya-Zaporizhzhia, and Solotovino-Zaporizhzhia-Solotvino stations, as the rail company advises users to follow instructions of train crews and station staff and enable push notifications in the Ukrzaliznytsia app.
Fedorov reported this morning that one person had been killed and six others injured in the Zaporizhzhia and Pology districts, noting that Russia carried out 918 strikes on 36 populated areas of the region.
Russia carried out 21 aerial strikes, used 669 drones of various types, 4 attacks with MLRS and 224 with artillery systems which led to 154 reports of damage to housing, equipment and infrastructure.
