Russia conducted an attack on Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, using five glide bombs that killed at least 15 people and injured 16 others, including three children, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The assault struck residential buildings in the city, prompting ongoing search and rescue efforts. This attack occurred shortly after a US deal to import Russian diesel was announced, which Zelensky criticized as prolonging the war. Russia's increasing attacks on civilian infrastructure have led to a significant rise in civilian casualties, with the UN reporting a 55% increase in such incidents this year.
