In short
- Overnight Russian attacks killed at least six people and injured 20 in Zaporizhzhia on August 11, Ukrainian officials said, as both sides also reported strikes on military and energy targets.
Overnight Russian attacks killed at least six people and injured 20 in the southeastern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia on Tuesday, August 11, according to Ukrainian officials cited by The Guardian and Al Jazeera.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the assault involved North Korean ballistic missiles, Zircon missiles and guided aerial bombs. That assertion was not independently verified in the available source material. Al Jazeera also reported that a children’s hospital was struck in Kyiv, citing Ukraine’s state emergency service.
Russia’s Defence Ministry said its strikes targeted transport and logistics facilities in Kyiv and an iron and steelworks in Zaporizhzhia that it alleged supported Ukraine’s war effort. Ukraine, meanwhile, said its drone forces struck a Russian military base in Voronezh, an oil refinery in Orsk, a cargo ship in the Black Sea and energy facilities in Russian-occupied Ukrainian territory.
The competing accounts reflect an intensification of long-range attacks by both countries. Details from active conflict zones can change as emergency teams assess casualties and damage.
