Russian strikes on the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia killed at least 15 people, including three children, according to Ukrainian authorities. The attack hit residential buildings, leaving at least 16 others injured. The incident occurred a day after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a deal to purchase Russian diesel, which Kyiv warned could fund Moscow’s war efforts.
Rescue workers continue to search for survivors trapped in the rubble of a destroyed apartment block. Ukrainian officials confirmed that children were among the casualties. The attack coincided with diplomatic talks in Miami aimed at resolving the ongoing conflict.
Zaporizhzhia has been a frequent target of Russian airstrikes in recent months. The city, located in eastern Ukraine, remains a critical strategic point. The recent strike adds to a pattern of civilian casualties reported by Ukrainian officials. Multiple sources indicate that the number of victims could rise as rescue teams clear the debris.
The attack comes amid heightened tensions between Russia and Ukraine. The conflict, which began in 2014, has seen increasing violence in the eastern regions. The international community has called for a de-escalation, but diplomatic efforts have yet to yield a lasting resolution. The incident underscores the ongoing humanitarian crisis and the risks faced by civilians caught in the crossfire.
