At least 17 killed in Russian missile strikes on Zaporizhzhia | DW News

A Russian barrage pounded apartment
buildings and other targets in the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia,
killing at least 17 people and wounding dozens, officials said
Sunday.
The blasts in the city, which sits in a region Moscow has claimed
as its own, blew out windows in adjacent buildings and left at least
one high-rise apartment building partially collapsed.
The strike came after an explosion Saturday caused the partial
collapse of a bridge linking the Crimean Peninsula with Russia,
damaging an important supply artery for the Kremlin's faltering war
effort in southern Ukraine and hitting a towering symbol of Russian
power in the region.
City council Secretary Anatoliy Kurtev said rockets struck
Zaporizhzhia overnight, and that at least five private houses were
destroyed and around 40 were damaged.
