Assault on Zaporizhzhia

According to Главком: On July 2, Russian forces launched an attack on Zaporizhzhia using guided aerial bombs. The strike left four people injured, with one in critical condition and another in moderate condition who was taken to the hospital. The attack ignited a fire in a multi-story residential building, damaged a fitness center, and destroyed storage areas of a local store.

Later that afternoon, a Russian Shahed drone struck a Nova Poshta sorting center in Zaporizhzhia. No casualties were reported from that incident. Ivan Fedorov, head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration, disclosed details of both events. He also released footage showing the guided bomb hitting the fitness center. The information was originally reported by the news outlet Glavcom.

These attacks underscore Russia’s ongoing military aggression against Ukraine, particularly in the Zaporizhzhia region, which remains under constant threat from Russian forces. Targeting civilian infrastructure like a fitness center and a sorting facility highlights the war’s toll on local residents, who endure violence and destruction.

It is crucial to note that strikes on civilian sites violate international humanitarian law and raise serious concerns within the global community. Ivan Fedorov
