Russian forces attacked Zaporizhzhia district overnight against 15 September, causing fires in private houses, according to regional officials. No casualties have been reported at this time.
The assault began around 2:28 am when explosions were heard in Zaporizhzhia city. “Preliminarily, no casualties,” Zaporizhzhia Oblast Governor Ivan Fedorov said.
Russian troops struck the district three times, Fedorov confirmed at 4:07 am.
The strikes damaged infrastructure across multiple communities. Power supply was cut in one of the communities, while private houses caught fire in Zaporizhzhia district proper.
Russian forces also targeted the suburbs of Zaporizhzhia, damaging a house in a garden cooperative area. The attack left no injuries or fatalities, according to the regional administration.
Separately, Russian troops conducted at least four strikes against Kushugum community. The attacks damaged roofs, walls, and shattered windows in the settlement, as shown by the regional military administration.
The Zaporizhzhia attack was part of a broader Russian offensive overnight. From 7:00 PM on 14 September, Russian forces launched three S-300 surface-to-air missiles from Kursk and Belgorod oblasts and 84 strike drones including Shahed, Gerbera, and other types from six directions: Kursk, Bryansk, Orel, Millerovo, and Primorsko-Akhtarsk. Approximately 50 of the drones were Shaheds, according to Ukrainian military reports.
The overnight assault follows a pattern of Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure on 14 September. Russian forces struck an agricultural enterprise in Boromlyanska community of Okhtyrka district in Sumy region, injuring 12 people involved in harvest collection. The attack used two missiles and damaged approximately 30 units of agricultural equipment, according to Sumy region prosecutor’s office.
Eleven men were hospitalized from the Sumy attack, with one in serious condition, confirmed Oleh Hryhorov, oblast governor.
Russian military leadership denies targeting civilian infrastructure during the full-scale war, despite documented strikes on hospitals, schools, kindergartens, energy facilities, and water supply systems. Ukrainian authorities and international organizations classify these attacks as war crimes committed by the Russian Federation.
