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.
