Russian Glide Bomb Attack on Zaporizhzhia Kills at Least 15, Including Children
Russia has attacked the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia with five glide bombs, killing at least 15 people, including three children, according to officials. The bombs hit residential buildings in the south-eastern city on Saturday morning, injuring at least 16 others, with more still missing and believed to be under the rubble. The attack is one of the deadliest in recent weeks. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the strike, saying the attacks on Zaporizhzhia were Russia expressing "its thanks" for a deal announced by US President Donald Trump. The deal, which involves the release of Russian diesel onto the global market, has been criticized by Kyiv as providing Moscow with funds to continue its war. The timing of the attack has intensified anger and grief in Ukraine. Rescue operations are ongoing as emergency crews search for survivors amid the debris. The international community has reacted with shock and condemnation, calling for accountability for war crimes. The attack underscores the brutal reality of the conflict and the urgent need for a peaceful resolution.
