Russian strike on car kills two in Zaporizhzhia region village

Two people were killed after a Russian strike hit a car in the village of Novotavriiske, located in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region.

The attack is part of a continuing pattern of Russian strikes on the Zaporizhzhia region, which has been repeatedly targeted amid the broader conflict in Ukraine.

Details on the circumstances surrounding the strike, including whether the vehicle was targeted directly or caught in a wider attack, were not immediately available.

Zaporizhzhia region has seen sustained military activity throughout the war, with civilian areas, vehicles and infrastructure frequently affected by strikes attributed to Russian forces.

Ukrainian authorities routinely report on such attacks as part of ongoing efforts to document the impact of the conflict on civilians in front-line and near-front-line areas.
