The acting governor of the Ukrainian region of Zaporiyia, Mijailo Semikin, has updated the casualty toll and already places the number of injured at 50 after a Russian attack that struck a residential building in the Kosmichni district.
As Semikin has detailed in a message shared on social media, the projectile hit a five-story building located in this well-known residential neighborhood of the city of Zaporiyia, causing numerous damages and leaving eight minors among the injured.
Zelenski’s criticisms of the reconstruction pace
Meanwhile, Ukraine’s president, Volodimir Zelenski, has admitted that the reconstruction tasks in areas hit by Russian bombardment are progressing “too slowly” and has warned that, in some cases, local administrations are not providing reliable data about the situation.
“The pace of the recovery works is too slow and, unfortunately, inaccurate data was reported from several cities,” he said on social media after receiving the latest reports on the reconstruction in the cities of Shostka and Konotop, in Sumi, as well as in Bila Tserkva and Brovary, in Kiev.
