Russian troops launched 116 strikes against 19 settlements in Zaporizhzhia Oblast over the past day, Governor Yurii Malashko reported on Nov. 5.

According to the governor, the settlements were attacked by Russian artillery, drones, and aircraft.

However, local authorities received 18 reports of residential buildings and infrastructure facilities being damaged following the attacks.
