Two people were killed, and 16 others were injured in Russian strikes on Ukraine’s southeastern Zaporizhzhia region on Sunday, the Ukrainian regional governor claimed.

In a statement on Telegram, Ivan Fedorov said Russian forces struck the regional capital, sparking a fire, and dropped a guided bomb on the village of Shevchenkivske, destroying a private home and a car.

Russia has not commented on Ukraine’s claims, while independent verification remains difficult due to the ongoing war.
