Russian forces launch 745 attacks on Zaporizhzhia region settlements, Ukraine says

Russian forces carried out 745 attacks on 47 settlements in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region over a 24-hour period, according to figures reported by Ukrinform.

The shelling resulted in injuries to two people in the Zaporizhzhia district, according to the report. No further details were provided regarding the extent of damage to infrastructure or residential areas across the affected settlements.

The Zaporizhzhia region, partly occupied by Russian forces since the early stages of the full-scale invasion, has remained a frequent target of shelling along the front line separating Russian- and Ukrainian-controlled territory. Ukrainian regional and military authorities routinely publish daily updates on such attacks as part of their reporting on the war's impact on civilian areas.

Ongoing front-line activity

The scale of shelling reported, covering dozens of settlements in a single day, is consistent with the pattern of sustained artillery and other attacks that have characterized fighting along the Zaporizhzhia front for an extended period. The figures reported reflect Ukrainian government sources and have not been independently verified by neutral parties.
