A Russian missile strike on Zaporijjia, Ukraine, resulted in six deaths and 23 injuries, including three critically, according to regional governor Ivan Fedorov. The attack targeted infrastructure and sparked a fire that has since been extinguished. An air alert for potential ballistic missile attacks had been issued prior to the strike in the area, which houses Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, currently under Russian control. Presidential administration chief Andriï Iermak urged Western nations to increase support for Ukraine as reports of intensifying Russian shelling surface. Additionally, a separate strike in Kharkiv claimed two civilian lives.
