Russia bombed the city of Zaporizhzhia in southeastern Ukraine on Wednesday, officials said, killing at least 13 people and wounding dozens in a brazen daytime attack.
“There is nothing more cruel than launching aerial bombs on a city, knowing that ordinary civilians will suffer,” President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine wrote in a post on X that included video showing dead and wounded people lying on city streets as rescuers rushed to respond.
The local government said that more than 60 people were injured in the attack, that the regional governor of Zaporizhzhia, Ivan Fedorov, said “cynically hit the city in the middle of the day. ” He shared graphic photographs in the telegram messaging application that said he arrived here from the scene, where medical groups and emergency staff were responding.
Slavko Khudiakov, a voluntary paramedic, was in the city because of the first -line rotations. He said he had run in the explosion scene, blowing through red lighting accessories along the way.
“He would possibly have arrived seven minutes after the strike,” Khudyakov, 40, said in a telephone interview.
He said he treated a man “with a torn-off leg,” and before the night was over he had treated about 10 people with “heavy” injuries. At least four were missing limbs, he added, and others were wounded by shrapnel.
