The strikes reportedly involved guided aerial bombs and hit apartment blocks and other residential areas in Zaporizhzhia. The attack comes as Ukraine says Russia is expanding air attacks intended to force civilians to abandon major cities, while Kyiv is signaling that it will intensify attacks on Russian oil infrastructure in response. The casualties and damage underscore the continuing danger to civilians and the renewed risk of broader escalation in the war.
