Dublin People Group is collaborating with the Ukrainian Center for International Communications Cideips to provide information regarding ongoing Russian aggression in Ukraine.
Early this morning, the city of Zaporizhzhia once again came under heavy fire, as Russia launched a devastating assault on residential areas.
According to local authorities, civilian infrastructure in three districts was struck at least ten times in a concentrated bombardment.
The human toll is already severe.
Three people have been confirmed dead, while two others — a 20-year-old man and a 16-year-old teenager — sustained injuries in the shelling.
Emergency medical teams continue to provide urgent assistance to the wounded.
The scale of destruction across the city is extensive.
Fifteen multi-story apartment buildings and ten private houses were either destroyed or badly damaged in the attack.
Non-residential premises, a parking lot, and other elements of civilian infrastructure also sustained heavy damage, underscoring the indiscriminate nature of the strikes.
In the aftermath, inspection teams are working district by district to document the devastation.
Local utility services have already begun emergency restoration work to secure damaged residential buildings and restore essential services to affected households.
City officials have stressed that the priority remains supporting the victims, ensuring public safety, and rapidly stabilising daily life in the wake of yet another brutal strike on Zaporizhzhia.
The attack underscores the ongoing peril faced by Zaporizhzhia, a major industrial and cultural centre in southeastern Ukraine that has become a symbol of resilience since the start of the full-scale invasion.
Lying close to the front line and only a short distance from Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, the city has endured repeated strikes aimed at breaking civilian morale.
