A Russian air strike against the front-line city of Orikhiv in Zaporizhzhia Oblast left one 48-year-old man dead and a 32-year-old person injured, Governor Yurii Malashko reported on June 12.

"Three guided aerial bombs launched by the enemy hit the city's territory: private houses and road infrastructure were damaged," the governor wrote on Telegram.

According to Malashko, the injured resident is receiving medical care.
