Governor: Russian forces attack Zaporizhzhia Oblast 82 times

Russian forces launched 82 attacks against Zaporizhzhia Oblast over the past 24 hours, Governor Yurii Malashko reported on May 3.

According to Malashko, Zaporizhzhia Oblast was targeted with two missile strikes, three air strikes, four drone attacks and 69 artillery strikes.

Sixteen front-line settlements endured "several hours" of shelling, Malashko wrote.
