Russia attacked the city of Zaporizhzhia shortly after 1 a.m. on Nov. 11, killing and injuring civilians, including children.

One man was killed in the attack, regional Governor Ivan Fedorov reported. At least 21 more people were wounded, including five children. The injured victims include boys aged 4, 16, and 17 and girls aged  15 and 17.

Eight people were hospitalized, including the 4-year-old boy, Fedorov said.

Russia carried out three strikes against the city on Nov. 11 using FAB-500 bombs, the National Police reported. One attack partially destroyed a two-story residential building. The other attacks damaged a dormitory and a car dealership.

Residents are being evacuated from the dormitory, authorities said.

Rescue operations are ongoing at the site and the number of victims is still being established.

Zaporizhzhia, the regional center of the partially occupied Zaporizhzhia Oblast, is a common target of Russian attacks. In the past week alone, the city has suffered multiple strikes against densely populated neighborhoods.

An attack on Nov. 7 killed 10 people, including a 1-year-old child, and injured 41 others. Two days before, a Nov. 5 strike killed six and injured 23.

Some 710,000 residents lived in Zaporizhzhia before the outbreak of the full-scale invasion in 2022.

Merkel describes Trump as 'fascinated by Putin' in her memoir.

"(Donald Trump) saw everything from the point of view of a property developer, which is what he was before he came into politics. Every plot of land could only be sold once, and if he didn't get it, someone else would," Angela Merkel says in her memoir.
