An industrial facility in Ukraine’s southern city of Zaporizhzhia was targeted in a Russian missile attack on Monday, resulting in injuries to at least six individuals, as confirmed by local authorities. Ivan Fedorov, the regional governor, refrained from disclosing specifics about the facility in his Telegram message.
This recent strike follows a similar incident last Friday when an unidentified industrial facility in the same city was hit by a Russian missile, resulting in casualties and damage to residential buildings, with four fatalities reported. It remains unclear whether Monday’s attack was aimed at the same site.
In a separate development, Russian officials have accused Ukraine of launching drone strikes against the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, situated southwest of the city and currently under Russian occupation. These accusations come amidst escalating tensions between the two nations.
The claims made by Moscow-installed officials have been met with denial and condemnation from Kyiv, which vehemently denies any involvement in the reported incidents at the power station. Ukrainian authorities have labeled the accusations as “armed provocations,” emphasizing their commitment to peace and stability in the region.
As tensions continue to escalate between Russia and Ukraine, concerns over the safety and security of critical infrastructure, including industrial facilities and nuclear power plants, remain paramount. The international community closely monitors developments in the region, urging diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the situation and prevent further violence.
