By 8:40 PM, the number of wounded had climbed to nine, including two girls aged 9 and 13. Both children are in the hospital, with doctors assessing their condition as moderate.

Meanwhile, two men and a woman declined hospitalization after being treated on-site, according to Fedorov.

By the next morning, the head of the administration confirmed that ten people had been injured: men aged 35, 37, 39, 55, and 70, women aged 60, 67, and 80, and the two girls aged 9 and 13.

Earlier that day, there had been warnings of potential airstrikes involving guided bombs in the region.

Local sources later reported seeing smoke rising from one of Zaporizhzhia’s districts.

  • That same day, Russian forces also shelled Bilozerka in the Kherson region, where a 33-year-old man died from his injuries.
