Russian forces attacked the city of Zaporizhzhia on Oct. 1, killing one person and injuring 24 others, among them three children, Governor Ivan Fedorov reported.
Russia launched at least six guided aerial bombs against Zaporizhzhia, damaging apartment buildings and houses, Fedorov said. Among the wounded were nine men, 12 women, and three children aged 9, 10, and 12.
Psychologists provided assistance to 28 people at the site of the attack, the State Emergency Service said.
In recent days, Russian troops have intensified attacks against Zaporizhzhia, targeting its civilian infrastructure. A guided aerial bomb was used to target the city for the first time on Sept. 23.
Overnight on Sept. 29, Russia's strike against the city injured 16 people, including an eight-year-old girl and a 17-year-old boy, according to local authorities.
The city of Zaporizhzhia is located less than 50 kilometers (31 miles) from the front lines.
Russia has continued to strike civilian targets across Zaporizhzhia Oblast, which is partially occupied by Russian forces.
