Russia attacked the city of Zaporizhzhia in the early hours of Jan. 23, killing one person and injuring at least 24 others, Zaporizhzhia Oblast Governor Ivan Fedorov reported.
A 47-year-old man was killed in the missile strike, Fedorov said.
The attack left at least 24 more people wounded, including a two-month-old baby. She has been taken to the hospital for treatment.
Four of the injured victims are employees of Ukraine's State Emergency Service, Fedorov said. They have also been hospitalized.
Earlier in the evening, Fedorov said that 10 victims have been hospitalized, with five reported to be in serious condition. Five others, including two State Emergency Service employees, are in moderate condition.
The remaining victims are being treated on an outpatient basis.
According to Fedorov, at least four explosions occurred in Zaporizhzhia shortly after 4 a.m. local time. An aerial alert had recently been issued over the region due to the threat of ballistic missiles from Russia.
A Russian missile targeted residential buildings in the city, damaging a roof and smashing multiple windows, Fedorov said.
Rescue operations are ongoing at the site as emergency workers search for victims who may be trapped beneath the rubble.
Zaporizhzhia, home to approximately 710,000 residents before Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022, is frequently targeted by Russian forces. An attack against an industrial facility in the city on Jan. 8 killed 13 people and injured 122, including a child.
