Zaporizhzhia blackout affects 25,000 residents after Russian strike

Russian strikes on Zaporizhzhia left 25,000 electricity subscribers without power, regional military administration head Ivan Fedorov said on the morning of 30 August

The overnight Russian attack killed one woman and injured 28 people, including three children aged 9, 10, and 16 years old. According to Zaporizhzhia Oblast Governor Fedorov, nine people sustained minor injuries, 14 received moderate injuries, and one man remains in serious condition.

Ten victims are under examination at the hospital, six people have been hospitalized, Fedorov said.

Russian forces launched a massive attack on Ukraine during the night of 30 August, using strike drones and missiles launched from air, ground, and sea platforms. Ukrainian air defense neutralized 548 out of 582 Russian aerial attack assets, though some strikes hit targets and debris caused damage.

The assault on Zaporizhzhia involved various types of weapons. Russians attacked the regional center with different types of weapons. At least 12 strikes on Zaporizhzhia were delivered by Russians during the massive attack, Fedorov said.

The attack damaged 14 apartment buildings and over 40 private homes, causing fires and power supply interruptions. Emergency services reported strikes on two five-story buildings and five private residential houses around 6:00 AM.

At 6:20 AM, Fedorov initially reported one death and six injuries, including one child. By 7:00 AM, he announced the casualty count had risen.

The damaged residential buildings have been disconnected from electricity and gas supply, according to the regional administration head. Industrial enterprise buildings also sustained damage during the attack.
