KYIV – A Russian drone attack late on May 1 set buildings ablaze in Ukraine’s south-eastern city of Zaporizhzhia, killing one person and injuring at least eight, regional governor Ivan Fedorov said.
“The Russians have made at least 10 strikes on Zaporizhzhia. The Russians targeted private homes, high-rise apartment buildings, educational institutions and infrastructure sites,” Mr Fedorov wrote on the Telegram messaging app.
“One man is under rubble. Rescue teams are doing everything possible to free him.”
