Russia carried out an airstrike on the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhia, dropping eight glide bombs over a 90‑minute period on the night of Tuesday. The attack killed at least one person and wounded dozens, according to U.S. news outlets. Meanwhile, Ukrainian drones reportedly struck Russian forces, killing nine, a claim reported by NBC News.
ABC News reports that the glide bombs killed one civilian and injured multiple others, while PBS confirms the use of glide bombs and the same casualty figure. FirstPost adds that the bombs were launched in a rapid 90‑minute barrage. NBC News and PBS both cite Ukrainian drone activity that resulted in nine Russian casualties. No official statements from Russian or Ukrainian officials were provided in the cited reports.
Zaporizhia is a key industrial hub in southern Ukraine, and the attack reflects the intensifying use of advanced munitions by Russian forces. The drone strike demonstrates the ongoing asymmetrical tactics employed by Ukraine.
