Russian forces struck residential buildings in Zaporizhzhia overnight on Friday into Saturday, October 17, wounding at least 5 civilians, acting head of Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration Mykhailo Semykin confirmed.

An air raid alert had been declared in Zaporizhzhia beforehand due to the threat of a missile strike. The enemy targeted residential areas in what appears to be a deliberate attack on civilian infrastructure.

Zaporizhzhia has been under regular attack as Russian forces have continued targeting Ukrainian cities with missiles and drones throughout the conflict.
